Installing MRAA

Installing on Ubuntu

Here is a PPA for installing on ubuntu: https://launchpad.net/~mraa/+archive/ubuntu/mraa

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mraa/mraa

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install libmraa1 libmraa-dev mraa-tools python-mraa python3-mraa

Node.js package is available seperately.

Install on Arch Linux

There is an AUR package for mraa here: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/mraa

Install on openSUSE

REPO="openSUSE_Tumbleweed"
if test "$(arch)" == "aarch64"; then
REPO="openSUSE_Factory_ARM"
fi
sudo zypper ar http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/hardware/$REPO/hardware.repo
sudo zypper in mraa

Installing for Node.js only

You can also install just the node.js mraa module by using npm. You will need a C++ compiler and the node development headers, however it's not required to have SWIG installed.

npm install mraa

Note that installing mraa in this way builds mraa without json-c so you cannot use mraa_init_json_platform(). Also building this way means the mraa.node includes a static version of libmraa rather than relying on a dynamic library in /usr/lib.

Installing on Intel 32bit Yocto based opkg image

See the section below on compiling or use our repository to install on a glibc based yocto poky image that supports opkg. Adding this repository is as simple as and you'll have the latest stable tagged build of mraa installed!

echo "src mraa-upm http://iotdk.intel.com/repos/3.5/intelgalactic/opkg/i586" > /etc/opkg/mraa-upm.conf
