Use dpkg with “-i” option (from sudo) to start the installation (please replace “.deb” filename with the one you downloaded): sudo dpkg -i plexmediaserver_1.-d8c4875dd_b Install Plex ServerĪs said, the previous command will download the official Plex Installer, a “.deb” file in your current folder. If this doesn’t work, you can also use my wget terminal command to get the Plex Server v.1.22 installer. You will have something like the following: wget Back to Raspberry PI terminal, write “wget” and paste the copied link. This will save the installer link in your local clipboard. In this tutorial, I’m going to use a Raspberry PI 3 Model B+, but the same procedure should work on other Raspberry PI computer boards. So, Plex can run on the latest Raspberry PI computer boards, which are a great option for home Plex installations. Again, Raspberry PI 3 Model B/B+ do a great job with Plex, even if Raspberry PI 4 Model B perform better.

The typical RAM suggested by Plex is 2GB. The minimum recommended CPU is Intel Core i3 (or equivalent) or faster, but the Cortex ARM CPU of Raspberry PI models do a great job. Besides Raspberry PI, it is compatible with Windows, OS X / macOS, Linux, NVIDIA SHIELD, Netgear Nighthawk X10 router and many popular NAS devices such as Drobo, Netgear, Synology, and more. Plex can run quite on every recent computer. It also runs from NAS, but Raspberry PI boards can give great results as they have better performances of NAS from the same price range. Moreover, it allows you to reach a number of new services, so discovering web TVs, Shows, channels, podcasts and so on. It is really flexible and makes your media together, accessible in a simple way from any device. Follow peppe8o posts on -> Twitter What Is Plex
