ANY instructions that actually work for rpi?

[TheButterZone]

Installed Raspbian Stretch Lite, did all the initial config, enabled SSH, got it on my network, logged into SSH, tried openbazaar-go/docs/install-linux.md instructions. go1.7.1.linux-amd64 threw some couldn't execute error when I did go get github.com/OpenBazaar/openbazaar-go, so I switched to https://freedomnode.com/blog/80/how-to-install-and-configure-new-openbazaar-2-0-on-linux-and-mac-os-x after resetting ~/.profile to default with cp /etc/skel/.profile ~/

pi@pi:~ $ go version
go version go1.8.3 linux/arm
pi@pi:~ $ echo "export GOPATH=$HOME/go" >> .profile
pi@pi:~ $ echo "export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin" >> .profile
pi@pi:~ $ source ~/.profile
pi@pi:~ $ go get github.com/OpenBazaar/openbazaar-go
go install runtime/internal/atomic: open /usr/local/go/pkg/linux_arm/runtime/internal/atomic.a: permission denied
pi@pi:~ $ 

Wondering if this is an easy fix or how to purge every trace of go from the filesystem to start from scratch, without reinstalling Stretch Lite.

Well that above has lead to a permissions error it seems.

Looks like something up with Debian perhaps?

I ordered a pi zero the other day. My plan is to just use the arm-5 binary rather than trying to build it on there.

... so nothing's compatible with the CanaKit Pi 3 I got as a gift? Their discussions looked like they petered out in 2016. I need ELI5 when it comes to Linux shit.

Merged. Also note you can just download the arm-5 binary from releases. This is what I did and it ran on a pi zero no problem.

@cpacia I just downloaded the arm-5 binary to my BananaPi (running Bananian/Debian Jessie). Trying to start it, all I get to see is an error:

$ ls -l
-rwxr--r-- 1 ob ob 59082612 May  2 19:07 openbazaar-go-linux-arm-5
$ ./openbazaar-go-linux-arm-5 -h
bash: ./openbazaar-go-linux-arm-5: No such file or directory

Note that the binary is located in the directory I'm in, and even auto-complete worked for the file name (so it obviously is there). The file is owned by the "current user" and got a chmod 0744 (so the user can execute it). What am I missing here? Did I understand you wrong that the binary is the only thing I'd need to download – and simply make it executable and run it?

(side-note: I'm using Gitea (which is also written in Go) on the very same Pi the very same way (i.e. just downloading the binary and running it), though that's an arm-7 binary. But AFAIK ARM is "backward compatible", isn't it?)

PS: If I should open a new issue for this, please let me know.
