Installing APM Planner on a Raspberry Pi 2 or 3.

This is a simple process if you know what you’re doing. The trick is trying to get up to date with all the forum posts and notes that have accumulated as this project has evolved. There are a lot of links in different places. I decided to put all the notes in one place so someone who is interested can get up and running faster.

Setting Up the Pi
- Download and setup the Raspberry Pi image. (don’t use raspberian and you cannot use noobs)
Get Ubuntu Mate 16.04 from here

(I use a mac so for me I downloaded the image by clicking on the magnet torrent link (first install the bit torrent client from bittorrent.com if you’ve not done this before. Then I put the image onto my SD card using ApplePi-Baker http://www.tweaking4all.com/software/macosx-software/macosx-apple-pi-baker/ (beware the ads on this site have buttons to click to download so find the proper link and don’t click an ad)

Building and Installing APM Planner (from terminal window)

• Add some pre-requisites (this can take hours - let it finish)
  sudo apt-get install qt5-default qtdeclarative5-dev libqt5opengl5-dev libqt5svg5-dev libqt5extserialport-dev libqt5serialport5-dev libqt5svg5-dev libqt5gstreamer-dev qtscript5-dev libsdl2-dev libsndfile1-dev libssl-dev git qtdeclarative5-qtquick2-plugin

• Get the source from git hub:
  git clone https://github.com/diydrones/apm_planner

• Compile the source (this can also take hours - let it run)
  cd apm_planner
qmake apm_planner.pro
make

• Run it!!
  ./release/apmplanner2
