I'm currently using Raspberry Pi 3 with the newest Raspbian Buster version. I followed the installation guide here:

https://hyperledger-fabric.readthedocs.io/en/release-1.4/install.html

and installed all the prerequisites beforehand: curl, docker, docker-compose, go, python, nodejs.

But the moment I run the fabric-samples installation command: curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hyperledger/fabric/master/scripts/bootstrap.sh | bash -s

I encounter the following error:

Clone hyperledger/fabric-samples repo

It seems that the fabric binaries and images are unavailable for armv7 processors. Other answers such as this one show me how to build the fabric binaries and images manually, but I still don't know how to get the fabric-samples to run afterwards.

Does anyone know how to install Hyperledger Fabric on RPi such that I can run the samples like byfn and fabcar as smoothly as in the documentation?

Raspberry now has a 64bit OS which you will need to run Hyperledger Fabric (https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=275370).

I have made the docker images for this OS already for my own project which you can find if you follow this repo https://github.com/SurfTheRepo/HLF-for-RPI-. If you clone the repo you will find the binaries for the 64bit OS in the bin folder. I have some links explaining how I built the images and binaries in the readme.

Everything is for HLF2.3 btw.

I have been able to run the test-network on my raspberry using this.

But my Raspberry Pi is a model 4 and is 8GB, I dont think it will be possible on a Pi3, (the RAM usuage goes up to about 4gb when I run the test-work).

Im still working on this project so I'm changing the repo pretty often, but you should be able to get a general idea of how it all works from it.
