Xojo IDE - Running on a Raspberry Pi

General

Hi,
Running the Xojo IDE on a Raspberry Pi is a newly added feature that I cannot find any official instructions for. So was wondering if anyone has got the XOJO IDE running on a Raspberry Pi and can provide detailed instructions in how to do it.

I have found these instructions that I could not get to work…https://forum.xojo.com/t/install-in-linux/83828/6, the likely hood is that I am doing something wrong but I think the instructions are for Linux and not specifically for a Raspberry Pi.

Thanks in advance.

Hello @Lee_Firman,

I have written an article on this topic and it will be published in the next xDev Xojo magazine.

The summary to install Xojo 2025 r1.1 on the Raspberry Pi 4 or Raspberry Pi 5 is:

  1. download the arm64 debian installer file from Xojo
  2. run the following command in the download folder: sudo dpkg -i xojo2025r11_arm64.deb
3

Works also to just download the tgz version. Unpack it and then run.

Works out of the box both on Raspberry Pi recent distros and Orange Pi running armbian on the Orange Pi.

Many thanks for your quick responses it is much appreciated.
@Eugene_Dakin I tried your solution and it worked perfectly and I can confirm the XOJO IDE is running on my Raspberry Pi.
@Björn_Eiríksson I have not tried your solution but assume that will work perfectly too.
Thanks again!
