[?] Install Mathematica on Raspberry Pi 4?

I attempted to install 11.3 and got this list of errors:

Anyone successful getting it installed?

The installation from the application menu of Mathematica 12 seemed to work fine on my new Raspberry Pi 4 (no changes to default system), but after starting the program I tried to access the online documentation and the other websites for Wolfram and received an error: because /home/pi was prepended to http://... and the combined address of course could not be found. I tried removing the installation and reinstalling manually from the terminal with sudo apt-get install wolfram-engine which also worked, but had the same problem. Then I downloaded the shell from the Wolfram site and after removing the software again installed with that. Same problem. Is there some way to fix this in preferences or with another installation or environment change? The problem affects the basic help functionality with F1 as well as all internet lookups from the menus. I would be grateful for any resolution ideas.

I don't think it is that bad, though of course I still remember when it used to be 0.01

Thanks Ilya for the clear facts, very helpful indeed!

A benchmark score of 0.18 on the raspi4 isn't impressive at all imho.

I am not sure how FreeBSD got involved, but the following statements are true

1) Raspbian Buster is the only released version of Raspbian that runs on the RPi 4

2) Mathematica 12.0 for Linux-ARM is compatible with Raspbian Buster

3) Mathematica 12.0 for Linux-ARM is compatible with Raspbian Stretch

4) Mathematica 11.3 for Linux-ARM is not compatible with Raspbian Buster

5) Mathematica 11.3 for Linux-ARM is compatible with Raspbian Stretch

6) RPi 3 or earlier may run Raspbian Buster or Raspbian Stretch

The expected score should be around 0.18

So to anyone with raspi4 and Mma 11.x or Mma 12.0:

How fast does the Mathematica software perform on the new hardware? Could you try the following on the raspi4 please?

Needs["Benchmarking`"]
BenchmarkReport[]

On the raspi3B (not 3B+) with Stretch and Mathematica 11.3 the benchmark yields a score of 0.06 omg. Maybe i should ask this question on the raspi forum haha.

I tried: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install wolfram-engine earlier this morning and got a message saying the package did not exist. But I just tried: sudo apt update sudo apt upgrade sudo apt install worlfram-engine and it installed just fine. I don't know if there is a difference in "apt" vs "apt-get" or if a couple of hours passing made the difference, I also tried "sudo apt install wolframscript" and got a message that the currently installed was the newest and some packages were automatically installed and no longer required and I could run "sudo apt autoremove" to remove them.

Everything looks fine. Thank you very much.

11.3 is not compatible with Raspbian Buster.

12.0 to be released within days is compatible and can be installed as usual

sudo apt update
sudo apt install wolfram-engine

It should also work on Raspbian Stretch, but it looks like for now the two .deb packages (wolframscript and wolfram-engine) need to be installed manually.

Here is some more information:

The following packages have unmet dependencies: wolfram-engine : Depends: oracle-java7-jdk but it is not installable or oracle-java8-jdk but it is not installable Depends: libhunspell-1.4-0 but it is not installable Depends: libssl1.0.2 but it is not going to be installed Depends: coinor-libipopt1v5 but it is not going to be installed Depends: libcurl3 but it is not installable Depends: libraw15 but it is not installable Depends: libgmime-2.6-0 but it is not going to be installed
