Title: r491 rPi Installation Help please
Post by: jshan on July 12, 2015, 07:09:45 PM

How do I install r491 on Raspberry Pi?  In the past, I think it was an .img (image file) that included the OS, Mono, etc. that I used Win32DiskImager to write to a microSD.

I'm lost as to how to proceed with the current downloadable file.   I downloaded the latest homegenie-beta_1.00.r491_all.deb.  The instructions on the download page says to double click on it - this does not appear to be a Windows executable.  Do I need to load Raspian first onto my microSD, then install in the rPi, then install Mono (how?), then... do what with the .deb file?

Sorry for my lack of understanding.  Help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
- JohnS

2 solutions :

• install a raspbian and install HG deb file with : debi <file name>.deb
• Install SD image : "http://sourceforge.net/projects/homegenie/files/previous/HomeGenie_1_00_beta_r431_raspi-armhf-4GB.zip/download" and do an update in HG web interface

Thanks Nolio!  That should work - I'll use option 2.  I was looking for a r491 image to get a clean install rather than an update because I had updated from r403 to r489 and my HG would no longer send e-mails or push notifications.  I'll try from the r431 image you linked.  Thanks again for your help.
