Does QPrompt work on RPI4? It seems perfect for a live performance teleprompter? I’m currently using imaginary teleprompter on RPI4 for live teleprompting when I play live music, but would love to move to the next generation of the software. However, I’ve been unsuccessful trying to get it to work. Can you help?
Hi @nrempe,
Yes, QPrompt work on the RPi 4. You need to install the Deb package meant for arm64 and have the most current version of Raspberry Pi OS installed. You install QPrompt by opening a terminal on the folder with the package and running:
sudo apt install ./qprompt-v1.1.6-51788eb-arm64-Linux.deb
Replace the file name with the name of the file you’ve downloaded. It must say arm64 and end with .deb to work.
What is the correct file and where is it found?
Hi @KitchM,
- v1.1.6: https://github.com/Cuperino/QPrompt-Teleprompter/releases/download/v1.1.6/qprompt-v1.1.6-51788eb-arm64-Linux.deb
- v1.2.0 Early Access (for paid Patreons only): https://www.patreon.com/file?h=86901646&m=219271701
- v2.0 Early Access has no builds for the Raspberry Pi due to Raspberry Pi OS (and most Debian based distributions) providing versions of QPrompt’s dependencies that are too old for QPrompt.
For context, v1.2 was rebranded later as v2.0 due to incompatibilities that arose from updating QPrompt’s dependencies. The most current stable release is v1.1.6 until QPrompt v2.0 is released. The process has been slow, there is plenty about it in the project’s blog.
I want to let everyone know that v1.1.6 works well for me on Bookworm.
