Help browser doesn't show up

Questions

Hello to everyone,
I’m really new to this community and always wanted to learn and use supercollider for my projects.
So now that I’m working on an hardware synth using Raspberry pi5 I choose to build it into sc.

The problem is that the help browser doesn’t even show up in the scide, probably it came up some issues during the installation. Someone has experienced before?
I’m runnig Raspbian, the latest version (bookworm 12).
I followed this guide for the installation: supercollider/README_RASPBERRY_PI.md at develop · supercollider/supercollider · GitHub

Thanks in advance

No possible. From the top of the page you linked…

However, the project cannot be compiled with the QtWebEngine library, which means that the help browser in the IDE, and the HelpBrowser and WebView classes in sclang, are unavailable.

Ooh that’s right, I didn’t notice, thanks.

Is there any other version of the help that doesn’t need an internet connection?

You can use a regular browser, but it will be limited. You can’t use the shortcuts nor evaluate code from the help browser,

Yes, it is not as good as the help browser. I think I’m gonna code on my pc and then just run the code through the raspi.

There is something you can try. The emacs sclang-mode has a text-based help browser based on one of emacs text-based browser packages. I believe it still works! scel uses qt Help.gui by default, but the old code, written before qt, is still there. You can just use it.

If I’m not mistaken, you just need to install w3m (the application and the emacs package); theoretically, it will just work.
