Install LibreConnect on a Raspberry Pi

If you want to install libreConnect inside /opt/libreConnect
Check the wget url here

mkdir /opt/libreconnect
cd /opt/libreconnect
wget https://github.com/madnerdorg/libreconnect/releases/download/1.0/libreconnect_rpi_v1.zip

Build a Wifi USB Hub

Here is a proof-of-concept of a Raspberry Pi Wifi USB Hub that fits in a pocket.

You can find stl files (and .blend) here: https://github.com/madnerdorg/libreconnect/tree/master/3D/spidersocket

I used an Anker 4-Port Ultra Slim USB3 Hub.
