# Prerequisites to generate an arm version of Duniter
Title: Generate an ARM release of Duniter
Order: 9
Date: 2018-01-26
Slug: create_arm_release
Authors: jytou
To produce an arm release file, there is currently the following requirement:
- a raspberry pi (preferably 3),
- raspbian jessie is the safest, if you produce the .deb file on more recent versions, it won't be installable on older ones, so avoid that!
- git (apt-get install git)
- zip (don't laugh, it is not included by default in raspbian) : sudo apt-get install zip
- do not run anything else on that pi during the build, as it almost takes the 1 Gb and you may just run out of memory if you have other things running.
echo "deb https://dl.yarnpkg.com/debian/ stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/yarn.list
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install yarn
```
## Installing Node
You need to install node with the exact version that is currently used. You can find the exact version for all archs by running:
```
grep "VERSION=" release/arch/*/build*
```
Download the file from https://github.com/jytou/NodeJs-Raspberry-Pi and run it (use sudo), for instance if the version of node is 8.9.1 (the current one):
```
sudo ./Install-Node.sh 8.9.1
```
