Greetings-

? ? I know the Build-a-Pi was orphaned for 73 Linux, but I have put a great dela of personalization into my current BaP setup on a Pi3.? I recently acquired a Pi4, which I know should give me the added benefit of being able to load VARA.? So, I simply moved my SD card from my Pi3 to my Pi4, but when I run the BaP updater to add VARA, it doesn't seem to recognize that I am now on a Pi4, and it won't let me add VARA.? Is this expected behavior?? Do I need to reload BaP (or switch to 73 Linux) and then go through the process of rebuilding my BPQ node and configuring direwolf, etc???

?

Thanks for the help...

I used "Pi-APPS" to install VARA and it worked great.

If the heavy lifting has been done with the script installing Box86, Wine, and one of the VARAs then manually installing Vara FM is a breeze. A simple download and install through Wine. If you can install a program on Windows you'll be fine.?

Download the program, unzip it to your drive c sub-folder under the .Wine folder. In a terminal windows type wine uninstaller. Click install a program. Go to C drive. Double click the setup installer. Click box to make a Desktop shortcut. Done.

Thanks.? I see the app in there, bit I just noticed that it’s VARA HF and I’m actually looking for VARA FM.? And the scripts look a little intimidating to try to edit them to point to the VARA FM download and to change the calls for VARA HF to VARA FM.

I might have to think through another way of accomplishing this.
