How to Run Substratum Node on Raspberry Pi
![sub_on_pi.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmdDc6usqSUbpBybxohacf4DjyQZQcSSsCvrsxWzRv9rzV/sub_on_pi.jpg)

[**Substratum**](https://substratum.net/), *the foundation of the decentralized web*, has received amazing progress after barely 8 months' development. The team is currently working on **SubstratumNode**, **CryptoPay** and a third unannounced project.

Users are now able to locally test the Substratum Node by either installing the [open beta](https://substratum.net/open-beta) or compiling from [source code](https://github.com/SubstratumNetwork/SubstratumNode). At the time of writing (June 10, 2018), the Node is released as version `0.3.2` for *Windows*, *Linux* and *MacOS*,  and the source code is more updated (git commit `379a696`) and may potentially run on more systems.

The Raspberry Pi is a tiny and affordable computer board that can be used for both fun projects and serious computation, such as low cost computation clusters, web hosting servers and crypto miners.

People have been asking questions since last year - *Can Substratum Node run on Raspberry Pi?* The answer is simply **YES**! The Substratum team has shown interest and is actively working on it, especially for testing the decentralization. But if you are like me, who cannot wait for the official support any longer, you can follow this unofficial tutorial to **build Substratum Node on your Raspberry Pi, today**!

If you are interested, please click the following links to read the FIRST unofficial guide to compile and run Substratum Node on Raspberry Pi.

English Version: [Hitchhiker's Guide to Substratum Node on Raspberry Pi](https://steemit.com/utopian-io/@microoo/hitchhiker-s-guide-to-substratum-node-on-raspberry-pi)
Chinese Version: [如何在树莓派上编译和运行Substratum Node](https://steemit.com/substratum/@microoo/substratum-node)

An important note, you cannot earn Substrate yet by running a Substratum Node. Decentralization (neighborhood) will be implemented in version 0.4.0, and Monetization comes in version 0.5.0 with which you can start the earning.

Credit for the ARM support goes to the [Arch Linux ARM](https://archlinuxarm.org), and the credit for Substratum Node goes to the [Substratum](https://substratum.net) team :) Make sure you follow [@SubstratumNet](https://twitter.com/SubstratumNet) for the Node development updates and join its [Telegram Channel](https://t.me/SubstratumCommunity) for community discussion.

Wow this is cool would you like to make another one using windows? upvotes and resteemed. FYI You could have done this type of tutorials in  utopian.io one of the steem-based applications  they rewards projects like this which i think is awesome.

Haven't heard of utopian.io before. Thanks for letting me know. It's just a guide for implementation. There is no new code involved here. Credit for the ARM support goes to the [Arch Linux ARM](https://archlinuxarm.org), and the credit of Substratum Node goes to the [Substratum](https://substratum.net) team :)

better check it out sir it rewards guys like you who  work on opensource products. I used to do some tutorials there my rewards never goes down 20 SBD.   Yup I am familiar with the project I am keeping an eye on that project its project. Now that I have learned that you can run it using this device makes it a lot more interesting. Maybe an answer to  its main competitor skycoin.

It should work without any problem 😏 Make sure you also read my second tutorial about Pi Zero, so you know how to cross-compile, which is much faster.

I may eventually test multi-nodes on a bunch of Pi's...

As far as I know, Substratum Node currently needs a 64-bit system, while Raspbian lacks 64-bit support. As long as you can install a decent 64-bit system into your Raspberry Pi, the compilation should work. Or, you may wait for Substratum Node to have native 32-bit support :)
