Indi Server Raspberry Pi

This document provides instructions for installing Indi Server, libgphoto2, and gphoto2 on a Raspberry Pi running Jessie or Ubuntu in order to use a Canon 80D camera. It involves downloading a script to install the correct versions of libgphoto2 and gphoto2, installing dependencies using apt-get, cloning the Indi repository and building/installing libindi and the Indi gphoto driver. For Ubuntu, it also provides instructions for installing Kstars.

How to Install Indi Server on Raspberry PI (Jessie and Ubuntu)

This guide will show you how I was able to successfully install the latest version of Indi Server
and the required dependencies, libgphoto2 and gphoto2, to use a Canon 80D. The 80D is
recently supported in libgphoto2 version 2.5.12; while there is v2.5.13 it doesn’t seem to work
with the 80D. The reason I had to go this route and not use the packages was because the Indi
Server packages load an older version of libgphoto2, which is not compatible with the Canon
80D.

Many thanks to scribblemaniac on Github for help his help with this!!!
