# Raspberry Pi
The Raspberry Pi section provides instructions for installing and setting up the FlowFuse Device Agent on your Raspberry Pi device, enabling seamless integration for efficient device management and automation.
# Installing the Device Agent
FlowFuse provides a script to install Node.JS, npm, and the FlowFuse Device Agent onto a Raspberry Pi. This script won't work on ARMv6 builds as the standard Node.JS builds don't support it, as result Pi Zero's are not supported.
bash <(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FlowFuse/device-agent/main/service/raspbian-install-device-agent.sh)This script will:
- Detect if Node.js is already installed, it will ensure it is at least v14. If less than v14 it will stop. If nothing is found it will install the Node.js 18 LTS release
- Install the latest version of the FlowFuse Device Agent using npm.
- Setup the FlowFuse Device Agent to run as a service
# Running as a service
You can run the device agent as a service, which means it can run in the background and be enabled to automatically start on boot. The install script will automatically set up the FlowFuse Device Agent to run as a service. The following commands can be useful for controlling the service or changing the default service settings.
# Starting the service on boot (optional)
If you want Node-RED to run when the device is turned on, or re-booted, you can enable the service to autostart by running the command:
sudo systemctl enable flowfuse-device-agent.service
To disable the service, run the command:
sudo systemctl disable flowfuse-device-agent.service
# Controlling the service
You can start the service with the command:
sudo systemctl start flowfuse-device-agent
You can check the current status with the command:
sudo systemctl status flowfuse-device-agent
You can stop your with the command:
sudo systemctl stop flowfuse-device-agent
