Running a Renpy game on Raspberry Pi

Is it possible to run a game on Raspberry Pi?
The device being used is a Chromebook. The error message for the game reads:
>sh: 0: Can't open Coming-Out-On-Top.sh
When trying "./Coming-Out-On-Top.sh" the result is: "bash: ./Coming-Out-On-Top.sh: No such file or directory.
Just checking to see if anyone has been able to get it to work. Thank you!

These are two conflicting bits of information. Are you on a chromebook or a raspberry pi? If it's a chromebook, which one?

Note that the Chromebook model C201 and model C12 (2015) use the same ARM based chip as the Asus Tinker board, the
RK3288 and yes, Ren'Py also runs on that.
The Chromebook is not a Raspberry Pi.
If you are running on a RPI2b or RPI3b, don't expect great performance, but games do run well enough on these and the Tinker board. (but I don't expect much from the RPI2b)
See my signature for more information.
Or jump directly to how to install.
PyTom simplified the installation a lot. See
this post for details and be sure to fix the typo
Code: Select all
mkdir -p ~/newbuild
cd ~/newbuild
git clone https://github.com/renpy/renpy-deps
./renpy-deps/build_pi.sh
"newbuild" being the directory you wish to install to.

Note that I don't support the Raspberrpy Pi build on anything but a Raspberry Pi. (And really, just the 3b. And even there, it's up to you to keep memory usage sane.)

Thanks for the response Imperf3kt and PyTom! Much appreciated. I'll see if I can get more info.
