        Hi SmartCodar, and welcome to the pfSense forums :)

        Did you try searching the forum? I did, these were among the results:
        https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=51616.0
        https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=59718.0

        Short answer, no you can't install pfSense on Raspberry Pi.

        Support the project by buying a Gold Subscription at https://portal.pfsense.org
        Running pfSense on SuperMicro A1SRI-2758F with ESXi 5.5

          ^Exactly. X86 only currently I'm afraid. There is a possibility of MIPS support sometime in the future (after 2.2 is released) but ARM is not even on the map!
