#### Architecture version on Raspberry Pi

For H2R Graphics to run on the Pi, you will need to be running \`ARMv7l\`.

In order to check what arch you are running, open the command line on the Pi and type:

```
uname -m
```

The response should be \`armv7l\` - If not, then you will need to re-download a 32bit OS from the link above.
