We tested this procedure on an Arduino YUN with LininoOS and LininoIO installed. Everything needs to be run as root. For the installation to be completed successfully, you need a working Node.js environment and a working kernel with gre, tun, ipv6, tunnel4, tunnel6, and ip6_tunnel module packages (kmod-*) installed.
Raspberry Pi
We tested this procedure on a Raspberry Pi 2 with Raspbian Jessie Lite installed. Everything needs to be run as root.
and on Raspberry Pi 3 with ubuntu-16.04-preinstalled-server OS:
Standard PC
If you want to install Lightning-rod within an LXD container, you can follow the first part of the IoTronic installation guide you can find here.
