FPP 9.5 on Linux

[coyoteray72]

Good day down under ...

I am trying to get FPP to run on a base Debian install. I downloaded and ran an older version of the install script to no avail; I have a post on https://falconchristmas.com/ asking the same question and was recommend getting a Raspberry Pi, that was a fair response. I know this channel is for FPP on Raspberry Pi, was hoping for some pointers and a wider audience.

I have a base Debian (v12 and v13) install and would like to install FPP 9.5 on it.

I down loaded the 9.5 version of https://github.com/FalconChristmas/fpp/blob/v9.5/SD/FPP_Install.sh and the install failed. Was hoping for a few pointers ...

What I did after installing the base version of Debian:
# apt-get install curl git
# curl -o FPP_Install.sh https://github.com/FalconChristmas/fpp/blob/v9.5/SD/FPP_Install.sh
# chmod 755 ./FPP_Install.sh
# ./FPP_Install.sh --branch 9.5
...
/opt/fpp/src/fpp-pch.h:48:10: fatal error: httpserver.hpp: No such file or directory
48 | #include <httpserver.hpp>
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.
make: *** [Makefile:84: fpp-pch.h.gch] Error 1
make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....


Any pointers would be great.

Thank you in advance

I can't help with installing FPP on anything except a Pi or BBB but as they both run Linux technically they meet your criteria of running FPP on Linux. Presumably you are actually wanting to run FPP on a PC. Is there any reason that you want FPP on a PC rather than a Pi? FPP is optimised to run on a Pi and some features won't work on a PC. You can get a Pi from about $15 depending on the features you want/need.
