hello, My name is Tom and I an using Arduino in art projects, and want to add raspberry pi to the mix.

I would rather not have to re-image my dev box just to install an IDE. are there instructions on how to install from the .tgz file?

Hi Tom, this is not really the place to ask questions. Open a new thread if you want to ask a question.

Welcome on board 🙂

Thanks @jeremydouglass for moving those messages 🙂

I already answered him by PM but I’ll copy the answer here so everyone can enjoy.

Installing processing on an already working system is explained here: [https://pi.processing.org/download/](https://pi.processing.org/download/)
