Install Nemo on Raspberry Pi

Nemo

File manager and graphical shell for Cinnamon, also works well on other desktop environments.

Nemo is the official file manager for the Cinnamon desktop. It allows one to browse directories, preview files, and launch applications associated with them.
It is also responsible for handling the icons on the Cinnamon desktop. It works on local and remote filesystems. Several icon themes and components for viewing different kinds of files are available in separate packages.

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

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.
Nemo will run on either PiOS 32-bit or 64-bit.
