Installing OCPN on Raspi4

[Corsair63]

I've tried OCPN in Raspberry Pi 4 (8 GB & SSD)
Debian version: 12 (bookworm) 64 bits

I've did it with flatpak but it gave me some error because the zoom bar was in the middle of the window and could not move it, also, when I clicked on add charts folder the program quit at the very same moment.
so, uninstalled OCPN via flatpak and also it.

gone for the instructions in the OCPN web and followed step by step with this result:

I don't want to install Openplotter and if possible not to use flatpak.

what could be the next to have it installed on the Rpi?

OpenCPN is in the standard bookworm-backports Debian repository, no need for any PPA. You seem to probably be using using Wayland, so you will have the same problems you describe you had with flatpak regardless of the way you install the program. Switch to X11 and they will be gone.

thanks Nohal,

How to switch to X11?
Last time I used Unix was back on 1990, and I run away from it.

Thanks a lot, something similar I downloaded, and I have a lack of knowledge about Linux, but with the guide I can solve it.

the main problem is installs OCPN, that I'm not able to do it.

Out of interest, why not openplotter? It works straight away & does it all for you.

another reasons not for forum.

maybe I'd give a try.

as far as I remember must be installed from the beginning from a sd/ssd image?

From the Debian repositoies

echo "deb http://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm-backports main contrib non-free-firmware" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list
sudo apt update
sudo apt install opencpn

or using flatpak

flatpak install org.opencpn.OpenCPN

You could give it a go & see what repositories it has set up. Debian 5.8.4 is in there.



And yes, it's a fully set up system image ready to go, burn on a card & turn on.

Not that experienced with repositories but this is from openplotter V4 >

thanks for your support, now I've been able to setup OCPN, and I had another problems with the software but I'll open a new thread.

followed:
Official instructions:

sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list

A text editor will open.
deb https://ppa.launchpadcontent.net/opencpn/opencpn/ubuntu focal main
Save the file pressing Ctrl X, say Yes and press enter. 

Now type:
sudo apt install dirmngr

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys C865EB40

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install opencpn

It seems that the instructions for editing the sources.list it makes not install the OCPN.


Instructions working:

echo "deb Index of /debian bookworm-backports main contrib non-free-firmware" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources. List

sudo apt update

sudo apt install opencpn

I had to edit the /etc/apt/sources.list file and delete the line inserted in the official instructions above
(deb https://ppa.launchpadcontent.net/opencpn/opencpn/ubuntu focal main)

after that I proceed as per Nohal instructions and was installed and running.
