    Have a look at the wiki article on this topic for further info.

    In sum, yes you can but you need to update the binaries for Mystic based on the OS you're running... and also for the Rpi you will want the correct 32 or 64 bit version of the build to match you OS.

    Also you will need to update all file paths from the c:\path\to\file convention to the Windows /path/to/file convention... this applies for file bases, file paths you set up in your MUTIL ini files etc. and in the main system paths settings in Mystic.

    Also ensure you have correct permissions for files and directories you are using in your Rpi install. There's a install read me style file that ships with the Mystic installer that will also touch on this.
