What to buy to run Warda on a Raspberry Pi, and shops that sell it, by
country. The user guide gives the same advice in each language, with the
shops of its countries (English).
Checked on 2026-10-11. Prices, stock and the shops themselves change:
look at the page of the product before you buy. Warda has no affiliate
link and earns nothing from these shops: no commission, no agreement with
any of them. They are listed for convenience, not endorsed.
What to buy#
| Part |
What to take |
Why |
| Board |
Raspberry Pi 5 or Raspberry Pi 4 |
The two models Warda supports (the image and Raspberry Pi Imager list exactly these two). Buy it from an approved reseller of Raspberry Pi (column "Approved" below) for a genuine board and the official warranty. |
| microSD card |
32 GB, application class A1 or A2 (U1/U3, V10 or better), from a reputable brand: SanDisk, Samsung, Kingston, or the official Raspberry Pi card |
Warda needs 16 GB at least; 32 GB costs about the same and leaves room. Buy it from the brand's own store, an approved reseller or a retailer selling it itself — not from third-party sellers of a marketplace: fake cards (a false capacity, very slow, failing early) are common there. The check of Raspberry Pi Imager catches some of them, not all. |
| Power supply |
The official one: 27 W USB-C (5.1 V, 5 A) for a Raspberry Pi 5, 15 W USB-C (5.1 V, 3 A) for a Raspberry Pi 4 |
A phone charger often gives too little at 5 V: undervoltage, random restarts, corrupted cards. |
| Case |
Raspberry Pi 5: a case with cooling — the official case of the Pi 5 (its fan is built in), a case with the official Active Cooler, or an aluminium case that acts as a heatsink. Raspberry Pi 4: the official case is enough for Warda; a heatsink case is better in a closed cupboard |
The Pi 5 runs warm. Warda uses the network port: keep it reachable. |
| Network cable |
An Ethernet cable (RJ45) long enough to reach your router |
Warda is plugged in with a cable, never over Wi-Fi. |
A starter kit (board, power supply, card and case) from an approved
reseller is a simple choice: check that its card is A1 or A2 and its power
supply the official one.
In the tables, "sells" uses: board, card (microSD), power
(power supply), case. The electronics shops sell all four; the large
retailers are listed mainly for the cards. "Approved": on the official
list of the approved resellers of Raspberry Pi
(https://www.raspberrypi.com/resellers/) on 2026-10-11; "—" means not
found on that list, not that the shop is unofficial. At a marketplace
(Amazon, bol.com, eMAG…), choose the offers sold and shipped by the shop
itself.

Look for an approved reseller on the page of the board
(https://www.raspberrypi.com/products/raspberry-pi-5/, button Buy,
then your country), or order from a distributor that ships to it. Keep the
advice above for the card and the power supply.
