Hi and thank you a great job with Delta Chat! It’s absolutely amazing! I’m using it more and more and convince people to switch to it (or, at least, use it in addition to other messengers).
I’ve switched to Raspbian/Raspberry Pi 4 as my desktop recently and became cut down from electron based apps which mainly support x86-64 only. Are there any chances and interest to see Delta Chat desktop to be distributed for armv7l as well at some point? Will be happy to participate and test it.
at some point sure, but not soon unless you try it yourself
see the desktop repo for instructions https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-desktop#from-source
you need rustup installed on you pi and it will take long to compile.
In essence you need:
install rustup and build-essential on your pi, then run following commands:
$ git clone https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-desktop.git
$ cd deltachat-desktop
$ npm install
$ npm run build
when done and there was no error run npm run start to start it, if there was an error or you got other questions please let know in this forum thread.
Electron apps take many resources, so we also plan on developing a more native interface:Are there any native linux desktop apps in the works?
Since you have a Raspberry Pi 4, which supports aarch64, I suggest you download a 64-bit version of Raspberry Pi OS on which it is easy to get deltachat-desktop running: For how much would you port Delta.chat to ARM / Raspberry Pi? - #2 by dotlambda
Hello,
i tried it but I get on npm install errors and the command has to been aborted:

$ rustc --explain E0658
pi@mcraspi4:~/temp $ rustc --explain E0658
An unstable feature was used.
Erroneous code example:
'```'
#[repr(u128)] // error: use of unstable library feature 'repr128'
enum Foo {
Bar(u64),
}
'```'
If you're using a stable or a beta version of rustc, you won't be able to use
any unstable features. In order to do so, please switch to a nightly version of
rustc (by using rustup).
If you're using a nightly version of rustc, just add the corresponding feature
to be able to use it:
'```'
#![feature(repr128)]
#[repr(u128)] // ok!
enum Foo {
Bar(u64),
}
'```'
The Output contains the markups for script content so I added the ’ manually.
whats your rust version?
Don’t know any more. I switched from buster to bullseye so now its full supported aarch64 architecture.
By the way I tried again to build them firstly after install bullseye with the commands above but get some warnings about version check which is 12 instead of 14. Later it aborts with errors:

Before I would install nodejs >=14 outside from the distribution I would ask about other problems.
you need a node version newer than 14 and also you need rust, look at the desktop readme and the development documentation under the docs dir
Ok, now I installed latest available nodejs 17.x.x and now the errors are different.
But what was missing was rustc which could be installed with
sudo apt install rustc
By the way there still errors:

Cheers,

just for your sanity I recommend using rustup and nvm (or another node version manager like fnm (GitHub - Schniz/fnm: 🚀 Fast and simple Node.js version manager, built in Rust))
node_modules folder and start a fresh npm i
Hello,
it’s really hard to use deltachat-desktop on a Raspberry Pi with all theses needed steps for someone who wants only using it.
I’d never so much problems before compiling / using other stuff outside from a debian version before.
I removed the node and rustc stuff again and installed now the requested versions:
pi@mcraspi4:~/test $ rustc --version
rustc 1.58.1 (db9d1b20b 2022-01-20)
pi@mcraspi4:~/test $ node --version
v14.19.0
pi@mcraspi4:~/test $ npm --version
6.14.16
By the way first warning with npm install was showing someone of the developers use a different newer npm?
pi@mcraspi4:~/test $ git clone https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-desktop.git

Updating crates.io index
By the way the npm install command is still running. Hope it will work now. Hope you can also add binary support for aarch64/arm64.
Edit:
The npm install looks like has to been finished. Because of swapping I must reboot the pi because it was not further available (screen off, sdcard lit permanent on, no reaction on ssh connection request …)
After rebooting a restart of npm install has to been finished with some warnings:

Now npm run build is failed so I start again with clone command. Maybe the reboot has something corrupted 
Hello,
the problems looks like fixed.
After fresh git clone; npm install; npm run build now only some warnings was been shown for npm install procedure.
By the way the npm run build has been finished.
npm start now starts the deltachat-desltop client 
For Bullseye Raspi aarch64 installation I did:
I hope someone can insert the steps which are needed for 3. so we get a full instruction to install deltachat-desktop on a Raspberry Pi with Debian (Raspberry Pi OS) Bullseye.
Would be nice to get a single binary file for delta chat desktop like as for amd64. By the way firstly I will create a simple script which starts the client by a console command.
yeah seems so, I also updates npm for now.
