running thonny on different platforms?

[Peter Andrej Valachovic]

Hello,

I really like thonny as a school programming environment. I also love that it is available for linux as well as for windows and macs.

As such I would like to ask if it would be possible to add to your repository also pre-compiled package for arm processors because I would like to use thonny as learning programming environment for kids on raspberry pi 3 (for its "robotics" possibilities). 

If there is a source code available which would allow me to compile it directly on raspberry pi, I have to humbly admit that I haven't found it

Hi Peter!

I haven't published a bundled version of Thonny for Raspberry, but you can pip-install Thonny to your existing Python 3.

Assuming you have Python 3.4 or later on you Raspberry, you should do sudo pip3 install thonny.
After this the command thonny should be on your path. If not, you should be able to run it with python3 -m thonny.
