+#### On the Raspberry Pi
+
+Tested on a Raspberry Pi 2 with a clean install of minimal Debian Jessie from https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/
+
+* `apt-get update` and `apt-get upgrade` to install all of the latest software
+
+* Install the dependencies for Monero except libunwind and libboost-all-dev
+
+* Increase the system swap size
+
+ sudo /etc/init.d/dphys-swapfile stop
+ sudo nano /etc/dphys-swapfile
+ CONF_SWAPSIZE=1024
+ sudo /etc/init.d/dphys-swapfile start
+
+* Install the latest version of boost (this may first require invoking `apt-get remove --purge libboost*` to remove a previous version if you're not using a clean install)
+
+ cd
+ wget https://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost/1.62.0/boost_1_62_0.tar.bz2
+ tar xvfo boost_1_62_0.tar.bz2
+ cd boost_1_62_0
+ ./bootstrap.sh
+ sudo ./b2
+
+* Wait ~8 hours
+
+ sudo ./bjam install
+
+* Wait ~4 hours
+
+* Change to the root of the source code directory and build:
+
+ cd monero
+ make release
+
+* Wait ~4 hours

+* The resulting executables can be found in `build/release/bin`
+
+* Add `PATH="$PATH:$HOME/monero/build/release/bin"` to `.profile`
+
+* Run Monero with `monerod --detach`
+
+* You may wish to reduce the size of the swap file after the build has finished, and delete the boost directory from your home directory
