Download the 7zip version as it is smaller. You will need a good sandisk 32 gig card. This was built on the pi 2 with raspian jessie and rivendell 2.13.0. I have had others use it on a pi 3 so don't think it will be any issue. That is what I would choose to run it on for processing power. We had an hifiberry audio card, so it is configured for that, but you can configure the audio in rivendell for whatever you are using. If you go the server route, I would assume you are using a professional audio card, so audio may not even be needed out of the pi. If you have any issues downloading, let me know and I will mail it to you. Let me know how it works out!
