How does the script automatically download and install the correct PI image on different Raspberries?

Hi, I bought and assembled a Raspberry Pi 4 (8GB) and a Raspberry Pi 5 (16GB).

When I run the command: “<(curl -sL https://www.screenly.io/install-ose.sh)” how does the script figure out which image file to download and install on my device?

So far I’ve been using PI3 B+.

In the Releases section on GitHub, for example, version v0.20.3 contains image files for the PI, PI2, PI3, and PI4.

How does it work?

The installation script automatically determines the device type. For instance if the script recognized that the device that it’s running on is Raspberry Pi 4, it will automatically pull Docker images that were built for that platform. The same goes for other models like the Pi 3B+.

The current Anthias release images are based off of balenaOS. Installing using these images are recommended for those who prefer to not deal with the command-line when installing Anthias. If you’re comfortable or familiar with using the command-line, sticking with the Raspberry Pi OS Lite would be the best option.

I could give you a more detailed explanation of the installation script if needed.
