# nymea - open source IoT edge server
--------------------------------------------
## Quick start
### Install nymea on a Raspberry Pi
We have created an image for your Raspberry Pi that comes with an array of plugins for different smart devices!
Use the [Raspberry Pi imager](https://www.raspberrypi.com/software/) and select nymea as operating system.
Alternatively, the image can be downloaded and flashed manually from [here](https://downloads.nymea.io/images/raspberrypi/). We recommend
the latest Raspberry Pi OS Trixie [core](https://downloads.nymea.io/images/raspberrypi/nymea-core-image-raspios-trixie-latest.zip) image.
### Get nymea:app here:
Manual download files of nymea:app can be found [here](https://downloads.nymea.io/nymea-app/).
A detailed description how to install and getting started with *nymea* can be found in the [nymea | user documentation](https://nymea.io/documentation/users/installation/getting-started).
## Developing with nymea
A detailed documentation on how to develop with *nymea* is available on the [nymea | developer documentation](https://nymea.io/documentation/developers/).
## Network discovery
When starting nymead as user without root privileges, the network device discovery will not available due to missing raw socket permission.
If you still want to make use of this feature, the binary capabilities need to be adjusted.
sudo setcap cap_net_admin,cap_net_raw=eip /usr/bin/nymead
This will allow nymead to create raw sockets for ARP and ICMP network discovery tools even when nymead gets started as user without root privileges.
