- In /etc/network/interfaces, give the Pi a static IP address. You cannot use dhcp.
- In /etc/network/interfaces, remove any IPv6 addresses.
- In /etc/hostname, make sure the Pi has a name.
- In /etc/hosts, make sure this hostname corresponds to the static IP you previous set.
- Make sure the kernel-headers are installed.
Installation
- echo "deb https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pimox/pimox7/master/ dev/" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pimox.list
