bash: ./QGroundControl.AppImage: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error. This error appears after trying to run the file as a program.

After completing the first set of commands here https://docs.qgroundcontrol.com/master/en/getting_started/download_and_install.html and running the chmod +x ./QGroundControl.AppImage, when the file is attempted to be executed it returns the error bash: ./QGroundControl.AppImage: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error. Have tried installing it both from a usb drive and directly. It is downloaded from the linux section. Running Ubuntu 20.10 on a raspberry pi 4.

  • If you followed ALL steps exactly under [Ubuntu Linux](https://docs.qgroundcontrol.com/master/en/getting_started/download_and_install.html) and still have that problem -- then remember RaspberryPi is ARM not X86_64. You can run `file QGroundControl.AppImage` and if it is a text file -- you can open it and look at what it is doing directly. If it is an executable and reports `... ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64 ...` you have your answer why it won't run. – David C. Rankin Feb 15 '23 at 03:42
