### Can I run Klipper on something other than a Raspberry Pi 3?
The recommended hardware is a Raspberry Pi 2 or a Raspberry
Pi 3. Klipper will run on a Raspberry Pi 1 and on the Raspberry Pi
Zero, but these boards don't have enough processing power to run
OctoPrint well. It's not uncommon for print stalls to occur on these
slower machines (the printer may move faster than OctoPrint can send
movement commands).
Pi 3.
Klipper will run on a Raspberry Pi 1 and on the Raspberry Pi Zero, but
these boards don't have enough processing power to run OctoPrint
well. It's not uncommon for print stalls to occur on these slower
machines (the printer may move faster than OctoPrint can send movement
commands) when printing directly from OctoPrint. If you wish to run on
one one of these slower boards anyway, consider using the
"virtual_sdcard" feature (see
[config/example-extras.cfg](../config/example-extras.cfg) for details)
when printing.
For running on the Beaglebone, see the
[Beaglebone specific installation instructions](beaglebone.md).
