you will still need to install it but this will get it on the pi

looks so simple, so why I found on the internet saying use the code to download: wget https://github.com/helium/gateway-rs/releases/download/<version>/helium-gateway-<version>-raspi234.deb

https://github.com/helium/gateway-rs?tab=readme-ov-file#building im guessing your stuck on 3 with the builds look in here for the names https://github.com/helium/gateway-rs/releases im ok with some of this but someon else may need to help with more on this maybe look for the helium crypto server maybe someone can help more on that

i managed to download one of the versions on pi, but when installing I get this message: '''error: 'helium-gateway-1.3.0-x86_64-unknown-debian-gnu.tar.gz' is not a Debian format archive'''

what os are you using and check if that verion is supported with that one

I am using raspberry pi OS lite (64-bit)

it maybe the version you tryed to install on github try the helium discord for more support https://github.com/helium/gateway-rs?tab=readme-ov-file#supported-targets click discord for the link or someone else in server can help i sould say maybe try there server due to if your setting up a helium server gateway they should know how

If you are using Raspberry Pi OS 64 bit you should get aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu as per "Supported Targets. Download it with the command: wget https://github.com/helium/gateway-rs/releases/download/v1.3.0/helium-gateway-1.3.0-aarch64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz` But the install instruction is lacking info and isn't a step by step instruction, it assumes you can a lot already. This is not a beginners project. So I agree with <@215158390530375680> ask on their discord for assistance.
