Having just ordered such a thing, I'd be interrested. I missed the start of
the thread, but "it's relatively easy" does not help much.
there don't seem to be any binaries, so I guess one must buld from source?
Which distribution do you favour?

Hello all,
Not sure if it was better to revive this thread or create a new one.
I'm starting on Rasberry Pi, so I followed the rookie way: Noobs and Raspbian.
Now, I searched about Trinity on Raspbian. It seems there was a repository for
Raspbian-wheezy (in the Preliminary Stable Builds), but following the
(somewhat aged) how-to that simply add "deb
http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/trinity-r14.0.0/debian jessie
main" don't work for the latest Raspbian (Jessie).
However, I seem to have to run the Jessie version because it's a Pi 3 (would
not boot with an older openSuSE anyway).
So, as I understand, I should either
- Install Debian Arm and use the repositories
- Compile Trinity for Raspbian Jessie? I'd have time and computer to do this,
it's experience I'm lacking. Am I right to understand I could compile for Arm
on a non-Arm computer? Should I compile on a Debian install?

Did you read the thread you are replying to?
TDE Debian Jessie installs just fine on Raspbian Jessie.

Well, no.
You pointed me to a how to (yours, seems), which I have followed, and it does
not install just fine. It simply finds 0 package to install and does nothing.
Which is why I thought it might have been for wheezy.
I've added the sources, I have the key, apt-get update throws no error.
Aptitude install trinity-desktop says: couldn't find any package whose name or
description matched 'Trinity-Desktop', No package will be installed.
After reading your answer, I tried "Aptitude install tdebase-trinity" which
does propose to install the base of trinity but also requires to remove quite
a lot of other packages including build essentials, many libs, and
(uninstalled) trinity programs that I imagine where put in the list by the
previous aptitude command.
So what I can do is try to install tdebase and see if I can get the rest of
trinity-desktop after.

Thanks for this info, I did not realise TDE ran on those devices. I
have an Orange Pi, currently running XFCE4. TDE resource usage is not
much different.
I'm well accustomed though, to installing a minimal TDE rather than
the "monster meta".

I'm not sure where I got that name, the only one mentioned on the
Debian install page (https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/DebianInstall) is
tde-trinity and the only one I've used on the PI is tdebase-trinity.
I've used tde-trinity in the past (i386) and it is pretty complete (to
much stuff I never use). I'm not sure where desktop-base-trinity fits
in, or if trinity-desktop-all is a valid option.

It depends on what you have Raspberry version. The first version had ARM6
processors. For this it was necessary to use Raspbian because standard Debian
packages for 'armhf' are built for ARM7. For newer Raspberry versions is
already possible to use standard Debian packages, including Trinity for
Debian Wheezy or Debian Jessie.
Note: Metapackages are called desktop-base-trinity and tde-trinity.
