Installation

Using Debian Packages for Raspberry Pi OS

Debian packages are available on this page for Raspberry Pi OS ( Debian 12 Bookworm ).

Packages are also available for Raspberry Pi OS ( Legacy Debian 11 Bullseye ).

For other versions of Raspberry Pi OS / Raspbian build from source or CPAN.

If you would like to install runtime dependencies first rather than resolving during dpkg install the list is:

sudo apt update
sudo apt    install libdevice-serialport-perl \
                     libfile-slurp-perl \
                     libjson-perl \
                     libtry-tiny-perl \
                     libuniversal-require-perl \
                     libio-epoll-perl \
                     libimage-imlib2-perl \
                     libbit-vector-perl \
                     libxml-libxml-perl \
                     libwww-perl \
                     libperl-dev \
                     zlib1g-dev

32-bit armhf package

Download libhipi-perl_0.94-1.bookworm_armhf.deb then install and resolve dependencies.

wget https://hipi.znix.com/download/libhipi-perl_0.94-1.bookworm_armhf.deb
sudo apt update
sudo dpkg --install libhipi-perl_0.94-1.bookworm_armhf.deb
sudo apt -y -f install

You don't have to run the seperate apt command to resolve dependencies if you use gdebi.

sudo apt update
sudo apt install gdebi-core
sudo gdebi libhipi-perl_0.94-1.bookworm_armhf.deb

64-bit arm64 package

Download libhipi-perl_0.94-1.bookworm_arm64.deb then install and resolve dependencies.

wget https://hipi.znix.com/download/libhipi-perl_0.94-1.bookworm_arm64.deb
sudo apt update
sudo dpkg --install libhipi-perl_0.94-1.bookworm_arm64.deb
sudo apt -y -f install

You don't have to run the seperate apt command to resolve dependencies if you use gdebi.

sudo apt update
sudo apt install gdebi-core
sudo gdebi libhipi-perl_0.94-1.bookworm_arm64.deb

From CPAN

You can install from CPAN in the normal way.

cpan -i HiPi

If you would like to install dependencies first from the Raspberry Pi OS repository (recommended) rather than have cpan build and install them locally, the list is:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install     libmodule-build-perl \
                     libdevice-serialport-perl \
                     libfile-copy-recursive-perl \
                     libfile-slurp-perl \
                     libjson-perl \
                     libtry-tiny-perl \
                     libuniversal-require-perl \
                     libio-epoll-perl \
                     libimage-imlib2-perl \
                     libbit-vector-perl \
                     libxml-libxml-perl \
                     libwww-perl \
                     libperl-dev \
                     zlib1g-dev \
                     i2c-dev

From Source

You can download the latest source and build with the usual
