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

  2. Use Pi-Apps to install LibrePCB.

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