The NFD and it's related tools and software packages can be installed on platforms mentioned in the official NFD documentation. However, a successful installation on constrained hardware like the Raspberry Pi with the official Raspbian OS is tricky and sometimes suggested to perform a cross-compilation and install the generated binaries. Although it's possible to install Ubuntu MATE and install the relevant pre-compiled binaries directly, one might need to go through the painstaking process of the MATE environment setup, and not be able to modify code to test/experiment self-written features.
In this documentation, I will talk about how to perform a step-by-step (as noob as possible) installation of NFD and related software from source on the Raspberry Pi running official Raspbian OS. The trick is two-folds-
