Usage on Raspberry Pi

This guide will help you install the Groundlight SDK on Raspberry Pi. The Groundlight SDK requires Python 3.9 or higher.

Prerequisites​

Ensure that you have the following installed on your Raspberry Pi:

  • Python 3.9 or higher
  • pip (Python package installer)

Basic Installation​

Assuming you have Python 3.9 or higher installed on your Raspberry Pi, you can proceed with the following steps to install or upgrade the Groundlight SDK:

Installing Groundlight SDK​

To install the Groundlight SDK using pip, run the following command in your terminal:

pip3 install groundlight

An ARM-compatible version will automatically get installed. The Groundlight SDK is now installed and ready for use.

Using RTSP Streams​

If you have docker installed on your Raspberry Pi, you can even just run

docker run groundlight/stream

as we publish an ARM version of our streaming application to Docker Hub.

Sample application​

For a complete end-to-end example of running on a Raspberry Pi, see this GitHub repo.

Ready to go!​

You're now ready to start using the Groundlight SDK in your projects. For more information on using the SDK, refer to the API Tokens documentation and the Building Applications Guide.
