Raspberry Pi

Please use Raspberry Pi OS Bookworm. Bullseye should also work. Older OSes are not tested.

Option 1: Binary wheel

We have published binary wheels compiled for 64-bit Raspberry OS Bullseye in X11 mode.

python -m pip install --break-system-packages raylib

Alternatively there is a DRM wheel called raylib_drm to use the framebuffer without X11. You can't have both wheels installed at once.

If it doesn't work, or you're not on Bullseye, or you're 32 bit, you will need to compile your own raylib. See below. For full instructions on this, see https://github.com/raysan5/raylib/wiki/Working-on-Raspberry-Pi . If you need help with this ask Raylib.

Option 2: Compile Raylib from source X11 mode

This should work for everyone.

sudo apt update
sudo apt install python3-pip cmake libegl1-mesa-dev libgbm-dev libgles2-mesa-dev libdrm-dev libglfw3-dev
git clone https://github.com/raysan5/raylib.git --branch 5.0 --single-branch
cd raylib
mkdir build
rm -rf build/*
cd build
cmake -DPLATFORM="Desktop" -DOPENGL_VERSION=2.1 -DBUILD_EXAMPLES=OFF -DCUSTOMIZE_BUILD=ON -DSUPPORT_FILEFORMAT_JPG=ON -DSUPPORT_FILEFORMAT_FLAC=ON -DWITH_PIC=ON -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
make
sudo make install
sudo cp -r ../src/external/glfw/include/GLFW /usr/local/include/

Then have pip compile and install the wheel:

python3 -m pip install --break-system-packages setuptools
python3 -m pip install --no-cache-dir --no-binary raylib --upgrade --force-reinstall --break-system-packages raylib==5.5.0.0

Option 3: Compile Raylib from source DRM mode

This seems to work on Raspberry Pi 4. Note you must not be running X11 when you run your programs.

If you have ever installed Raylib or raylib-python-cffi before, remove all traces of it:

sudo apt remove raylib raylib-dev libraylib libraylib-dev
sudo rm /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/raylib.pc
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/lib/libraylib.* /usr/lib/libraylib.*

Remove all GLFW:

sudo apt remove libglfw3-dev libglfw3
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/include/GLFW

Build a shared lib version of Raylib in DRM mode and install to /usr:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install python3-pip cmake libegl1-mesa-dev libgbm-dev libgles2-mesa-dev libdrm-dev
git clone https://github.com/raysan5/raylib.git --branch 5.0 --single-branch
cd raylib
mkdir build
rm rf build/*
cd build
cmake -DPLATFORM="DRM" -DBUILD_EXAMPLES=OFF -DCUSTOMIZE_BUILD=ON -DSUPPORT_FILEFORMAT_JPG=ON -DSUPPORT_FILEFORMAT_FLAC=ON -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=/usr ..
make
sudo make install

Then have pip compile and install the wheel:

python3 -m pip install --break-system-packages setuptools
python3 -m pip install --no-cache-dir --no-binary raylib --upgrade --force-reinstall --break-system-packages raylib==5.5.0.0

Attention!

If you intend to use the Broadcom proprietary Open GL ES 2.0 drivers (the ones installed by Raspbian into /opt/vc and compiled in Raylib with PLATFORM_RPI) be aware they not work with Bullseye and have not been tested with the bindings. They will probably require additional linker arguments to be added to build.py. Suggest you try PLATFORM_DRM instead.
