Install Electron Fiddle on Raspberry Pi #

Electron Fiddle #

Electron Fiddle lets you create and play with small Electron experiments.

It greets you with a quick-start template after opening – change a few things, choose the version of Electron you want to run it with, and play around.
Then, save your Fiddle either as a GitHub Gist or to a local folder.
Once pushed to GitHub, anyone can quickly try your Fiddle out by just entering it in the address bar.

To run: Menu -> Accesories -> Electron Fiddle
To run in a terminal: electron-fiddle

Fortunately, Electron Fiddle is very easy to install on your Raspberry Pi in just two steps.

1. Install Pi-Apps - the best app installer for Raspberry Pi.
2. Use Pi-Apps to install Electron Fiddle.

Compatibility #

For the best chance of this working, we recommend using the latest version of Raspberry Pi OS, which is currently version Bookworm.
Raspberry Pi OS has 32-bit and 64-bit variants, both of which will run on most Raspberry Pi computers, including the Pi 3, Pi 4, and Pi5.
Electron Fiddle will run on either PiOS 32-bit or 64-bit.
