This document will walk you through installing and running the essential EdgeX Foundry microservices on a RaspberryPi for testing and evaluation. This is not an officially supported way of running EdgeX Foundry, and should not be used in a production environment. This guide is for developers who want to learn EdgeX by running it as a mock gateway device.

This guide has been tested to work on a RaspberryPi 3B+, it may work on other models of the RaspberryPi 3, but it will not work on any older or smaller lighter variations of the RaspberryPi as it requires a 64bit capable CPU. |

The RaspberryPi 3B+ has a full gig of ram, but between building the EdgeX Foundry source code and running MongoDB this may not be enough. So before going any further you will first want to create some additional memory capacity by adding a swap file to your filesystem. Run the following command to create a new 2GB swap file:
sudo touch /tmp/theswapsudo chmod 600 /tmp/theswapsudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/theswap bs=1M count=2048sudo mkswap /tmp/theswapsudo swapon /tmp/theswap
Install Go & Glide
