## Requirements:
```
This script is made for and tested on Raspberry Pi 4's with at least 2GB of RAM.
The OS used and tested on is: Raspberry Pi OS Lite x64 version 11 / Bullseye.
An official Raspberry Pi power supply.
A good SD card with 16GB storage or more (read the FAQ: Just use any SD card?) for more information.
Optional:
Zigbee Dongle CC2531/CC2652P.
LAN cable.
Best to worst Pi's to use that are supported by this installer:
Pi 4 2GB / 4GB / 8GB
Pi 4 1GB (mounting /tmp to RAM will be disabled)
Pi 3B+ (may lack the power and/or resources to run all the installer options, also mounting /tmp to RAM will be disabled)
Pi 3B (may lack the power and/or resources to run all the installer options, also mounting /tmp to RAM will be disabled)
Why more then 1GB of RAM? Read the FAQ: 1GB of RAM not good enough? for more information.

This script is made and tested on a Raspberry Pi 4 2GB model.
A Pi 4 4GB or Pi 4 8GB would also work!
Older Pi's could experience slowdown and out of memory errors when running all of the
installer options due to limited resources and RAM logging (RAM logging explained below).
In the future the installer will calculate the total amount of RAM installed
and in the case of a Pi 4 1GB model disable the /tmp folder as RAM mounted
