Instructions on Raspberry Pi 3/4 installation not working

[rowlandrose]

This happened yesterday and today. I'm following the instructions on this wiki page: https://github.com/Chia-Network/chia-blockchain/wiki/Raspberry-Pi. My device is a Raspberry Pi 400 on Rasberry Pi OS 64 bit. I get as far as sh install.sh but it always gives me this error:

ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement clvm-rs==0.1.3 (from chia-blockchain)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for clvm-rs==0.1.3

Next I tried sudo pip3 install clvm-rs==0.1.3 but I get this error:

pi@raspberrypi:~/chia-blockchain $ sudo pip3 install clvm-rs==0.1.3
Looking in indexes: https://pypi.org/simple, https://www.piwheels.org/simple

  Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement clvm-rs==0.1.3 (from versions: 0.1.0, 0.1.1, 0.1.2)

I even downloaded and tried installing the relevant whl file from here: https://pypi.org/project/clvm-rs/0.1.3/#files but it said it wasn't compatible.

Full output of sh install.sh:

[dorkmo]

ive got it running on the ubuntu pi version, if youre not tied to the other os you might try it

[hoffmang9]

There is really no reason it shouldn't work on both 64 bit versions. I have one running each so will check it out shortly.

[SebastianMetzger]

i have the same issue on Pi, even when going back to beta27, I get the same error with an older version of the dependency:

ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement clvm-rs==0.1.2 (from chia-blockchain)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for clvm-rs==0.1.2

[hoffmang9]

Unfortunately, this just works for me. Now it's odd that it isn't happy with the Pypi wheels so I will continue to investigate but.

See that linux_armv7l? You're running a 32 bit Raspbian and we don't support that. 64 bit Raspbian is availabe.

@SebastianMetzger what does uname -a say for you?

[SebastianMetzger]

@hoffmang9 You are probably right, seems I have the 32bit version installed:
Linux raspberrypi 4.19.118-v7l+ #1311 SMP Mon Apr 27 14:26:42 BST 2020 armv7l GNU/Linux
Actually just assumed it was 64bit, I use a preinstalled version I received in a kit. Will look into upgrading/reinstalling os 👍

[hoffmang9]

There are instructions for installing the 64 bit image on the wiki - second paragraph - https://github.com/Chia-Network/chia-blockchain/wiki/Raspberry-Pi

[hoffmang9]

This should make this all simpler - #983

[SebastianMetzger]

Thanks, was quite easy to upgrade to 64bit:
Linux raspberrypi 5.10.16-v8+ #1402 SMP PREEMPT Tue Feb 16 14:16:34 GMT 2021 aarch64 GNU/Linux
With current main version, I unfortunaltey still get the original error: 🤔

ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement clvm-rs==0.1.3 (from chia-blockchain)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for clvm-rs==0.1.3

I also removed the folder completely and cloned it again to download all dependency again.

[hoffmang9]

If you installed over the same filesystem then make sure you are both out of the venv and do a rm -rf venv in chia-blockchain and run sh install.sh again

[hoffmang9]

Out of the venv = deactivate

[hoffmang9]

I also removed the folder completely and cloned it again to download all dependency again.
Missed that. Hrm.

[SebastianMetzger]

removed .cache/pip as well and still the same error.
maybe necessary to install 64bit from scratch? Might be a lot of dependencies in the OS only in 32bit or something? 🤔

[hoffmang9]

On a Pi 4 2GB that I imaged clean it works like a charm.. Here it is syncing again after I blew it away to test this:

[hoffmang9]

It hit me that your python3.7 may still be a 32 bit compiled version as that will run on a 64 bit OS but won't run 64 bit dependencies like ours.

[hoffmang9]

Try this:

(venv) pi@raspberrypi:~/chia-blockchain $ python3
Python 3.7.3 (default, Jul 25 2020, 13:03:44) 
[GCC 8.3.0] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import platform
>>> platform.architecture()
('64bit', 'ELF')
>>> exit()

[SebastianMetzger]

yep, this is still 32bit 🙈

>>> platform.architecture()
('32bit', 'ELF')

Will see how to update

Thank you so much. Turns out I had not actually installed Raspberry Pi OS 64 bit. I had instead followed instructions I found online to run with a 64 bit kernel, mistakenly thinking it was a full 64-bit OS installation. I did a proper installation of Raspberry Pi OS 64 bit just now, and sure enough I was able to successfully run sh install.sh. Sorry for the mistake and thank you for your quick attention. I can't wait to play around further with the Chia blockchain.
