Packages
Packages are available for the Debian based distro Raspbian.
NOTE: The Raspbian package repository has changed since v2.4.11 was released in early 2020. To update to v2.5.0 and later, you must run the command below to add the new repository.
If you are running a Raspbian Buster-based distro, run this command:
curl -1sLf 'https://dl.cloudsmith.io/public/moonlight-game-streaming/moonlight-embedded/setup.deb.sh' | distro=raspbian codename=buster sudo -E bash
If you are running a Raspbian Bullseye-based distro, run this command:
curl -1sLf 'https://dl.cloudsmith.io/public/moonlight-game-streaming/moonlight-embedded/setup.deb.sh' | distro=raspbian codename=bullseye sudo -E bash
Install the package using
sudo apt install moonlight-embedded
Update the package using
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
The newest Raspberry Pi OS (Bullseye) defaults to a display driver that doesn't support Moonlight's renderer.
To fix this, you can edit the /boot/config.txt file:
- Run
sudo nano /boot/config.txt - Scroll down using the arrow keys until you see the line that says
dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d - Change that line to
dtoverlay=vc4-fkms-v3d - Press Ctrl+X, press Y, then press Enter
- Reboot your Pi
