Saver mode tested on Raspberry Pi Zero W. Installation Prerequisites: - Python 3.8 or higher - Reticulum Network Stack already installed (installation guide) - Linux with BlueZ 5.x Option A: Automated Installation (Recommended) The installation script automatically detects your Reticulum setup and installs dependencies in the correct environment: The script will: 1. ✓ Detect if Reticulum is in a venv, pipx, or system-wide 2. ✓ Install system dependen","default_branch":null,"files":null,"tree":[],"storefront":"/r/torlando-tech","claimed":false,"request_supported":{"post":"https://gitbuyer.com/r/torlando-tech/ble-reticulum/request-supported","requests":0},"note":"indexed from public GitHub; nothing is for sale on this page.
