I followed instructions to get distro on my Raspberry Pi and got the following:
pi#raspberrypi:~ $ cat /etc/os-release
PRETTY_NAME="Raspbian GNU/Linux 10 (buster)"
NAME="Raspbian GNU/Linux"
VERSION_ID="10"
VERSION="10 (buster)"
VERSION_CODENAME=buster
ID=raspbian
ID_LIKE=debian
How do I extract the distribution from this? Next time someone asks how do I answer?
The content of that file is full of variable so:
source /etc/os-release && echo $PRETTY_NAME
Replace the variable name with the one you are interested of.
You can also use the lsb_release -a command to detect the distribution

These are my raspberry pi OS, Kernel version and archtecture configs
Operating System: Raspbian GNU/Linux 10 (buster)
Kernel: Linux 5.10.52-v7l+
Architecture: arm
When I try to run their script(https://brew.sh/):
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
I get
Homebrew on Linux is only supported on Intel processors!
and, whenever I try to run a brew command, I get:
-bash: brew: command not found
Homebrew for linux is called Linuxbrew. And the installation command that you need is:
sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Linuxbrew/install/master/install.sh)"
Please check out this link to get more info about it: https://github.com/Linuxbrew/brew
Also notice that while Linuxbrew can run on Raspberry Pi (32-bit ARM), no binary packages are available for it.
Here are my two cents on installing brew on RaspberryPi Zero W and RaspberryPi 3+ (RaspberryPi OS, bullseye).

Note that everything for brew is slow on ARM6. Patience is required not only when setting up linuxbrew, but also when installing packages using brew.
However, once the package has been successfully installed, it should work as fast as expected. So, I'd say it is worth trying linuxbrew on the ARM6 and ARM64 architectures.

Two comments on installing Homebrew on Raspberry Pi 400 Rev 1.0, Raspbian Debian 11.5.
For an unknown reason Homebrew installer requires exactly ruby version 2.6.8. My Pi has ruby 2.7.4 but that was not accepted
After installing 2.6.8 using the above hint (ruby-build available from the regular repository does not offer it, the next after 2.6.6 being 2.7.0), the brew update --force --verbose command was still failing on not finding 2.6.8. It was so because the 'brew' script has the PATH explicitely filtered to the system one, "/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin". Only after manually adding the path for ruby 2.6.8 did the update work. NB. the script was overwritten during the process so in order to install any package I had to add the path it again.
Any idea why it is "exactly 2.6.8" and not "2.6.8 or newer"?
Tried to install DeepSpeech via pip3 install deepspeech and got this:
Looking in indexes: https://pypi.org/simple, https://www.piwheels.org/simple
Collecting deepspeech
Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement deepspeech (from versions: )
No matching distribution found for deepspeech

Any idea? Also tried it with specific deepspeech versions, I get the same error.
i'm trying to install Docker-compose on my Raspberry Pi 3+ which installed Raspbian buster.
I followed instruction on docker.com. After I entered command : sudo curl -L https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.20.0/docker-compose-`uname -s`-`uname -m` -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose.
It show a table for downloading
Result
It seems nothing downloaded, just have a file docker-compose saved in /usr/local/bin/docker-compose. When I opened it, it empty. Then I enter command docker-compose -v, it displayed error /usr/local/bin/docker-compose : line 1: Not: command not found.
Anyone have solution?
UPDATE:
Added the following command to my answer to download the LATEST version without specifying any version number at all so the download can be scripted.
curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/$(curl https://github.com/docker/compose/releases | grep -m1 '<a href="/docker/compose/releases/download/' | grep -o 'v[0-9:].[0-9].[0-9]')/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
It's a bit untidy, but it works. If you have a more elegant way than mine, ping it to me in the comments and I'll update my answer.
Just need to set the perms on the file:
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
Use the file command to validate that you pulled the correct arch for your system.
Intro:
Although docker-compose can be installed from a repo per the accepted answer, apt-cache show docker-compose reveals that as of 20211201 the repo version is only v1.25; about 2 years behind the current v2.1.1 release. In order to take advantage of more modern docker file versions, I needed to get the Github download working.
Short Answer:
The Docker documentation for Docker-Compose is WRONG. They forgot to preface the version number in the command with a "v"; consequently the download fails. Apparently this has been wrong for ages...
Longer Answer:
I ran the below command from the Docker-Compose documentation, and substituted the version "2.1.1" for "1.29.1" per Docker's guidance:
To install a different version of Compose, substitute 1.29.2 with the
version of Compose you want to use.
sudo curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/2.1.1/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
The resulting download was 9 KB for a 23 MB binary. Clearly the link was bogus. So I went to the root of the address used in the command "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases" and right-clicked on the version of Docker-Compose that I wanted and chose "Copy Link Address"
This revealed the link Docker was telling folks to use didn't have a "v" prefaced before the version number in the https:// address part of the command.
Solution:
Preface a "v" before the version number you want in the link as below and the command executes successfully:
sudo curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/v2.1.1/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
BTW, I too was downloading docker-compose for a Raspberry Pi using the aarch64 binary for Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. However, the missing "v" fix for the broken download address should work for any platform.
This is because on a raspberry pi the url part of the command results in
https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.24.1/docker-compose-Linux-armv7l
Looking at the latest stable release at https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/tag/1.24.1 you can see there is no download for the armv7l architecture so the file is empty because there is nothing to download.
Will update answer once I figured out how to install docker-compose on Raspian.
Edit:
Via apt-get. Note: Currently (Nov. 8 2019) this installs version 1.21 which is not the latest available.
sudo apt-get install docker-compose
Via pip3. (Installs latest)
sudo apt-get install python3-pip
sudo pip3 install docker-compose
And then restart your system with
sudo shutdown -r
I have a Raspberry Pi 3 running Raspian Lite
pi#raspberrypi:~ $ uname -a
Linux raspberrypi 4.14.79-v7+ #1159 SMP Sun Nov 4 17:50:20 GMT 2018 armv7l GNU/Linux
I am following this tutorial, setting up an Adafruit Fona 808 for GSM/GPS connections. I've installed screen and pppd as instructed.
pi#raspberrypi:~ $ sudo apt-get install screen ppp
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
ppp is already the newest version (2.4.7-1+4).
screen is already the newest version (4.5.0-6).
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
The problem is that when I start screen and enter 'AT' I get no response.
I start the screen session like so:
pi#raspberrypi:~ $ sudo screen /dev/serial0 115200
I see a black screen with blinking cursor. I enter 'AT' on my keyboard but no characters appear on the screen. I press enter, still nothing appears.
I'm using screen version 4.05.00
pi#raspberrypi:~ $ screen --version
Screen version 4.05.00 (GNU) 10-Dec-16
I am not sure how to troubleshoot this issue.
Any suggestions?
Running the following:
pi#raspberrypi:~ $ sudo ls -l /dev/
I noticed that serial0 is pointed at ttyS0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 5 Feb 3 23:49 serial0 -> ttyS0
So, running the following worked:
pi#raspberrypi:~ $ sudo screen /dev/ttyS0 115200
In screen:
AT
OK
I'm very new to Raspberry Pi, and have no prior notable experience with Linux so this is all new to me...
Octoprint is a 3D printer spooler that you can run on your raspberry pi. One of the features on Octoprint is the ability to setup a USB camera to view either still images or a stream of your print.
I am using the Octopi prepackaged Octoprint image.
Octoprint's github contains the following info referring to my USB camera. But I have no idea how to implement this.
Hama PC-Webcam "AC-150" on Raspberry Pi
./mjpg_streamer -o output_http.so -w ./www -i input_uvc.so -y -r 640x480 -f 10
https://github.com/foosel/OctoPrint/wiki/Webcams-known-to-work
I'm guessing this is an easy command that I enter via console, but I've winged few commands with no luck. Can someone shed some light on how I use this? Like I said I'm an absolute beginner with the pi...
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Try this:
camera_usb_options="-r VGA -f 10 -y"
sudo service octoprint stop
fuser /dev/video0
/dev/video0: **1871m**
$ ps axl | grep **1871** *Change this number by yours*
$ kill -9 **1871**
./mjpg_streamer -i "input_uvc.so $camera_usb_options" -o "output_http.so -w ./www"
sudo service octoprint start
