Running a QRL node on a Raspberry Pi

Running a QRL node strengthens the network, supports the decentralization and further verifies transactions on the network.

This project is a PoC developped during the QRL Winter Hackathon 2021.

Node setup

Download and flash Raspberry Pi OS.
- Tests were done with Raspberry Pi OS with desktop (with the Rapsberry Pi imager, choose Raspberry Pi OS (32-bit))
Boot the Raspberry Pi and connect to a network.

Open a terminal and download the installation script. Make the script executable.

 $ wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/0xFF0/QRL_rpi/main/Install_qrl_node_pi.sh
 $ chmod +x Install_qrl_node_pi.sh

Run the script (it takes approximatively 2 hours to setup everything).
```
 $ ./Install_qrl_node_pi.sh
```
When you’re done, you can start the QRL node.
```
 $ start_qrl
```

This command was used to identify the pi model number: cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep 'Revision' | awk '{print $3}'.

Raspberry Pi tested are:

Revision	Model	RAM	Results
a21041	2 Model B	1 GB	Works
c03111	4 Model B	4 GB	Works
c03112	4 Model B	4 GB	Works
a02082	3 Model B	1 GB	Works
9000c1	Zero W	512 MB	Works
