Before you install

Requirements and current limits

Check your Raspberry Pi against these before installing the test build.

Check your device with our team

  • Hardware

    Raspberry Pi 4 or 5 (evaluation targets).

  • Operating system

    64-bit Ubuntu Desktop. A 32-bit OS cannot run this package.

  • Architecture

    ARM64. On the Pi, uname -m must report aarch64.

  • Display session

    X11. echo "$XDG_SESSION_TYPE" must report x11.

Native CI passed compilation, tests, packaging, Debian installation and architecture checks. Playback and hardware acceleration have not yet been validated on a real Pi.

Setup

Install the Pi test package

The archive contains production and staging .deb and AppImage packages, SHA256SUMS and the build identity. The checksum file refers to paths inside dist.

  1. Download the test build. GitHub sign-in is required; the ZIP archive is about 1.8 GB.
  2. Extract the archive into a folder named dist, then open Terminal in its parent folder.
  3. Copy the commands and paste them into Terminal. They stop if the architecture or checksum check fails.
Package
signagex-player_arm64-v2_arm64.deb
Debian version
0.arm64-v2
Verify and install ARM64 test build
(
test "$(uname -m)" = aarch64 &&
sha256sum -c dist/SHA256SUMS &&
sudo apt update &&
sudo apt install ./dist/signagex-player_arm64-v2_arm64.deb &&
signagex-player
)

This package pairs with your production SignageX account. Check the installation with dpkg-query -W signagex-player; Debian reports 0.arm64-v2.

Support status, downloads and installation for the Raspberry Pi test build.

Ask our team

Not yet. This is an evaluation build. Native CI passed compilation, tests, packaging, Debian installation and architecture checks, but playback and hardware acceleration have not yet been validated on a real Pi. It is not a certified production Pi release.

No. The production Linux v15 package is built for amd64 (Intel / AMD) computers only. A Raspberry Pi needs this separate ARM64 test build.

The test build is published as a CI artifact, which GitHub only serves to signed-in users with access. CI artifacts expire, so this is a test download, not a permanent release feed.

Install the production package, signagex-player_arm64-v2_arm64.deb. It pairs with your production SignageX account. The archive also contains a staging package that uses a separate account environment; run only the intended player.

Yes, once basic playback works. The optional dedicated kiosk session described on the Linux page also applies to the Pi test build.
