Ubiquiti UniFi controller on Raspberry Pi

[bwilliams127]

Hi, I purchased a Ubiquiti UniFi UAP access point a few days ago to replace the WiFi from our crappy ISP provided router. The AP is brilliant and the controller software is great too. I currently have it installed on my MacBook Air (V. 3.2.5). I have seen posts about people installing it on a Raspberry Pi and decided to search up how to install it on my Pi but the tutorials are written for people that have a good understanding of Linux. They say things like "Compile the software package manually" and I don't have a clue what that means! Does anyone know where a simple guide can be located, or would anyone be interested in writing a guide?

Thanks,

Brandon

With the Arch Linux, you don't need to compile manually as it's already available in the repository

Thanks, that looks great! How do I get this on to the RPi then? Thanks!

How to install Arch Linux or how to install the package onto Arch Linux?

Install Arch Linux the same way as Raspbian and pacman -Sy unifi to install the package.

Thanks. Would I need to install MongoDB or Java separatley or would it all install using that 1 command?

Hi, I have installed the package and dependancies. How do I start the Unifi program now then? Also, is there a firewall in this version of Linux which would prevent me from accessing the web admin page on another computer? Thanks so much for your assistance.
