Build fails on Raspberry Pi

[j-f1]

I'm trying to build Atom on a Raspberry Pi 2, and running npm install fails with this message:

Is there any way to fix this error?

Hi @j-f1 👋

ARM is currently not supported for Atom but there are users that have got it up and running. I have not tried any of this myself but I know about some issues and resources that might help you:

https://github.com/hypersad/atom-armv7l/
atom/atom#15881
atom/atom#7822
electron/electron#11413

[j-f1]

Thanks for getting back to me!

I’m actually using @hypersad’s solution you linked above. I’ll try installing a newer version of g++ this afternoon.

[tylercwats]

Were you able to fix this issue? I'm having the same problem.

[ghost]

I have only Raspberry Pi 3 Model B, on which Atom seems to build fine, so I can't help.

Try npm install [email protected]
Then try to build it again, it fixed it for me.

help please!!! using pi 3b+!!!
