5, Installation of KStars on Raspberry:

Now it's time to install Kstars Bleeding, note: not Kstars! Kstars Bleeding is a special version of KStars by Jasem Mutlaq, the developer of Ekos, both INDI and Ekos are included in KStars Bleeding. Note: You must have an internet connection to do this!

Open terminal window in Raspberry and give this three commands with a return for each:

Installing KStars Bleeding with help from Swedish forum Astronet, thanks Erland! Give the following commands in your terminal, one by one with a return after each:

  1. sudo apt-add-repository ppa:mutlaqja/ppa

    Click "Enter" when it ask to continue

  2. sudo apt-get update
  3. sudo apt-get install indi-full kstars-bleeding

    Type Y and enter when it ask to continue

I noticed that it was possible to update the system from the System>Administration menu. But when I tried it crashed. When I did it according to the description above it started to update:

Ubuntu software uppdate

First:

  1. System>Administration>Software & Updates
Software and updates

I checked no ones here, goto "Other Software".

Other Software updates

Under Other Software there is already a table of software to check for updates. Click close, maybe it will ask to reload list of updates.

Software and Updates, Reload of cache

Click "Reload" and wait.

Second:

  1. System>Administration>Software Updater

Wait until it finished checking available updates:

Softwares updates loading

After a while you get this screen:

Updates ready to install

You will see other updates compare to what I have here, if it's ok click "Install Now" and wait. You will be asked to enter your password. It's wise to do a restart after this. Updates looks to be common, so redo this often.

After this it looks to have been more stable, especially when remote controlling by VNC.
