Install Gnome Builder IDE on Raspberry Pi #

Gnome Builder IDE #

Builder is an actively developed Integrated Development Environment for GNOME.
It combines integrated support for essential GNOME technologies such as GTK+, GLib, and GNOME APIs with features that any developer will appreciate, like syntax highlighting and snippets.

You can rely on predictable releases of Builder with each new release of GNOME every six months.

Fortunately, Gnome Builder IDE 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 Gnome Builder IDE.

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.
Gnome Builder IDE will only run on PiOS 64-bit. Pi-Apps will not let you install Gnome Builder IDE on PiOS 32-bit.
