+# Zcashd & Zcash-cli on Raspberry Pi
+
+The Raspberry Pi provides a simple, compact computer suitable for running a Zcashd node. The instructions provided here assume you have a Raspberry Pi 4 Model B with the 8GB RAM option and at least a 64GB Micro SD card. Use of a Pi with less RAM or storage space will yield unpredictable results and may result in a failed compile.
+
+The following instructions will guide you through compiling Zcashd natively on the Raspberry Pi.
+
+Initial Setup
+=============
+
+The recommended OS for a Pi-based Zcashd full node is Ubuntu. If you intend to also compile and run zecwallet for the full node, you will want to select the UBuntu Desktop 21.10 (RPi 4/400) 64-bit. Otherwise Ubuntu Server 21.10 (RPi 3/4/400) 64-bit will suffice. 
+
+
+# Install Clean OS
+The Raspberry Pi Imager provides a simple interface to select and install the OS using a Windows or Mac. (http://www.raspberry.pi.com/software)
+
+Once the Imager completes the OS write to the Micro SD card, insert the card into the Pi and power it on. It is recommended to have a hardwired Ethernet connection.
+
+The boot sequence will take a few minutes, during which time the root SSH keys will be generated. (NOTE: After the displayed time in seconds passes, pressing the Return key will bring up a login prompt for the default ubuntu user).
+
+At the ``ubuntu:`` prompt, login using the default credentials ubuntu/ubuntu. You will be required to immediately change the password for this account. Be sure to make it complex and store it somewhere safe!
+
+Assuming you've successfully changed the password, the system should display a summary of the operating system version and take you to a ``ubuntu@ubuntu:~$`` prompt. 
+
+# Configure Prerequisites
+
+The first step is to prepare the prequisite software for the zcashd compile.
+*NOTE: All commands must be run via sudo or from a root command prompt. Use of root carrying additional risk, but might make the process easier. These instructions assume you have superuser rights.*
+
+1. Fully upgrade and update the OS.
+
+```
+apt-get upgrade && apt-get update
+```
+
+2. Install dependencies required for the compiler. After installation, you wil be prompted to restart selected services.
+```
+apt-get install \
+build-essential pkg-config libc6-dev m4 \
+autoconf libtool libncurses-dev unzip git python3 python3-zmq \
+zlib1g-dev curl bsdmainutils automake libtinfo5
+```
+
+3. Reboot the Raspberry Pi via ``reboot``.
+
+4. The next step is to install the GCC compiler and the CLANG frontend.
+
+```
+apt-get install gcc-10 clang
+```
+
+At this point, your Raspberry Pi has all the required components to compile zcashd. It is recommended that you reboot the Pi one more time before proceeding.
