  • Easy access to system areas with elevated privileges
  • Powerful update tools
  • Desktop Environment (DE) Theme Changer
  • Autostart Tool

Fortunately, PiGro 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 PiGro.

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