It won't. BeerSmith is available for PCs running Windows or Linux, or Mac. This makes it Intel processor compatible only while the Raspberry Pi uses an ARM processor. That's just one of many downsides of closed-source software.DamoR said:Does anyone know if BeerSmith 2 can run on a Raspberry PI ??

It sounds like you're confusing operating systems with the hardware they're running on.Gweedo said:Are we 100% sure on this, as Rasperry Pi has always run a Linux based OS called Raspian (currently "Jessie") which is based off the Debian platform. Also now with the Raspberry Pi 3 B release they have adapted a Windows 10 LoT platform.
No, AMD processors are compatible with Intel processors. ARM processors aren't, however.Intel Processor only??, but you say it runs on MAC and Linux (which is open source)...does this also mean it will not run on an AMD processor being its restricted to Intel Processors only?
Gweedo said:But I can download most anything that runs on linux on my PC to my Raspberry Pi.
So to stay on topic with brewing.
I can run the exact same source code of...
Yes I know that BrewPi is open souce, but I just used that as an example as the same code running on 2 different systems with similar OS (one Raspian and the other Debian)
So to stay on topic with brewing.
Gweedo said:Wow taking that next step to smartarse, well done....very pro of you, but not really called for as I am just saying that I can do a sudo apt-get for the BrewPi GUI that is capable to run on my PC and my Raspberry Pi just as long as I have a Linux OS, and if you actually go to Github and see the files for download personally it is only written as one program, not multiple programs to run on multiple devices, just as long as its Linux. You just have to use Putty on windows to access Python for updates or any editing.
jomebrew said:As Brad advised, there is no known instance running on the Pi.
Beersmith 2 is a compiled program which was compiled for Intel x86 processors. Brad would have to compile it for ARM processors to run on Raspberry Pi. There are programs for running x86 emulation on the Pi but they are a lot of work and Beersmith still may not run.
So, while it may be possible to get it running on a Raspberry Pi, it will be a lot of work, cost extra money for an x86 emulator, still may not work and there is no support working or not.
Good Luck and Happy Brewing!
