#### Raspberry Pi / ARM64
TBD
##### Hardware Considerations
If you choose to use a Raspberry Pi for the cluster, it is recommended to have at minimum a Raspberry Pi4 (4GB) and preferably an 8GB model. Additionally, it is also recommended to boot from an external SSD, rather than the SD card. This is supported [natively](https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/computers/raspberry-pi.html), however if you have an early Raspberry Pi4, you may need to [update the bootloader](https://www.tomshardware.com/how-to/boot-raspberry-pi-4-usb).
##### Installing the OS
There is a decent guide [here](https://raspberrytips.com/install-debian-on-raspberry-pi/) on how to get Debian installed on a Raspberry Pi.
1. Deviations from that guide, as per [these](https://raspi.debian.net/defaults-and-settings/) instructions.
```txt
- Use an SSD instead of an SD Card
- Reinsert the storage media
- Open `sysconf.txt` file
- Add `root_authorized_key`
- Add `root_pw`
- add `hostname`
```
2. (Post install) I would recommend adding a generic user.
```
adduser <username>
```
