There are currently no official 64-bit ARM Linux builds available of Deno. However, there are unofficial ones. Here’s how to set that up.

Note

Compatibility note This only works on 64-bit versions of Linux. 32-bit is currently unsupported by Deno.

For the record, this was tested on a 64-bit Ubuntu server install on a Raspberry Pi 4. But it should work on any 64-bit Linux.

Installing Deno

# Make sure you have unzip installed
$ apt install unzip
# Download a recent Deno build
$ wget https://github.com/LukeChannings/deno-arm64/releases/download/v1.29.1/deno-linux-arm64.zip
# Deno will use this directory for other binaries, so let's put Deno there too
$ mkdir -p ~/.deno/bin
$ cd ~/.deno/bin
$ unzip ~/deno-linux-arm64.zip

That’s it. You should now be able to run ~/.deno/bin/deno just fine.

Add ~/.deno/bin to PATH, e.g. in ~/.bashrc add:

export PATH=$PATH:~/.deno/bin

Then to verify:

$ source ~/.bashrc
$ deno -V

Then, just follow the standard Silver Bullet installation instructions:

$ deno install -f --name silverbullet -A --unstable https://get.silverbullet.md
$ mkdir ~/Notes
$ silverbullet ~/Notes --hostname 0.0.0.0

And access it on http://ip-of-pi:3000

Have fun!
