The tutorial on:

Here's what went wrong:

Claims my arch is not supported but I'm running raspbian and following the raspbian tutorial...

Thanks for reporting @jakeswenson. We'll get this sorted out.

[jakeswenson]

I should note i was able to download the dpkg and install it using the manual instructions, so thank you for those!

Thanks for reporting this!

It was recently fixed here:
https://github.com/timberio/vector/blob/fb8ae10f193c1990259500941ddd90f01472063e/distribution/install.sh#L127-L132

but https://sh.vector.dev/ has not been updated yet because it is updated only on new releases. In the meantime, it is possible to run

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://raw.githubusercontent.com/timberio/vector/master/distribution/install.sh | sh

instead of

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.vector.dev | sh

[jakeswenson]

I just reset my raspbian pi machine, and tried this again (both from docs and from your script above) and I'm getting the same error....

Using your script

pi@rpi5:~ $ curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://raw.githubusercontent.com/timberio/vector/master/distribution/install.sh | sh

                                   __   __  __

This, for me, appears to still not be resolved.

@binarylogic @a-rodin Can you confirm this is indeed fixed?

[jakeswenson]

OK nevermind, looks like with #3352 there is no desire to support armv7... The docs site needs to be updated....

[jakeswenson]

FWIW vector ran flawlessly on my raspberry pi. i guess its back to fluentd/fluentbit 😞

[jamtur01]

Hi @jakeswenson I am sorry about the arm7 support but in our previous build environment, it was very messy to build. We've recently moved over to cross for our builds and we're planning to add it back. I'll make a note to try it later this week.

[jamtur01]

And because I had some time over lunch: #4871. And with @Hoverbear's excellent help. :)
