Leo on Raspbian?

[Rob]

I'm starting to explore some fun projects with my son, a professional programmer, using the Raspberry Pi device. The default OS is a Linux variant called Raspbian. It has Python 2.7.3 and 3.x (not sure yet which one) preinstalled. That's as far as I've gotten. My main Leo production platforms have been Windows and MacOS and practically zero experience with Linux.

Just wondering if anyone here has any experience installing and running Leo on this particular Linux variant? Thanks in advance.

I have experience on all major linux variants (slackware is a little fuzzy, it was 1997). I also got Leo up and running under BSD.

If you can get a functioning python environment working, Leo will run just fine.

Keep us posted

I'll resurrect this cool thread and report here that I installed Leo along with vscode, websockets and leointeg on a Pi 4 today :) 

Had fun testing it out and am still amazed that everything works just fine! I'm now coding leojs with leointeg running on that pi! 

I'll probably continue tomorrow to make sure that i can start a leobridge server and connect from two different computers to edit the same Leo outline served from that pi. Kind of a 'multi user' mode that I've never had the time to test thoroughly :)

So i'm just curious to hear from other people who may have in the meantime got some more experiences with Leo on a rasp Pi device: 

 (for instance did you get a file-association with .leo files working properly for icons in the Pi's file manager? for  me passing the parameter with %U creates a new file with the correct path, instead of opening the file itself - but everything else works fine - i probably didnt create the mimetype or the launch script properly in /usr/local/bin/leo, no biggie.. )

Oh - i just fixed the parameter passing : the %U was extraneous., removing this and just keeping this  (below ) in the /usr/local/bin/leo script was enough :)

#!/bin/sh
python ~/path-to-leo-editor/launchLeo.py $1 --no-splash

Thanks for your testing :-)

Make that 

#!/bin/sh
python ~/path-to-leo-editor/launchLeo.py $* --no-splash

in case you want to pass more command line args.  I often launch with --theme-... so I need to pick up more args.
