Hi, you mention in your manual that Pi2 will need the AMRv7 version; however, I just realized that this might not be the case for all Pi2. I got an "illegal instruction" error when trying to use conda and by googling discovered that AMRv7 was the culprit. With AMRv6 everything runs smoothly (thanks btw!). I'd suggest adding "cat /proc/cpuinfo" to the manual to determine which version is needed.

I though all Raspberry Pi 2's have ARMv7 CPUs, the original Raspberry Pi was an ARMv6 CPU. There are some differences between the ARMv7 architecture in the various releases of the 2's as well as the ARMv8 but run as v7 in the RPi 3. Perhaps that is causing the issue.

Unfortunately I don't have a Raspberry Pi 2 to test the packages on, so all I can do is go off user reports.

I have a raspberry pi 2 and I faced the same issue...armv6l installers worked (https://github.com/jjhelmus/berryconda#armv6l-installers-raspberry-pi-1-or-zero)
