I just purchased Ardour 6.9 but the code fails to compile and install. I get a message saying that the file has some invalid characters. I’m running Linux Mint 21. I’ve tried to install it twice now but I don’t want to end up corrupting the code. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated
Could it be that you have double-clicked the .run installer (which opens in a text-editor)?
see https://ardour.org/first_time_linux.html
In a Terminal window, call
/bin/sh ~/Downloads/Ardour-6.9.0-x86_64-gcc5.run
Alternatively you could mark the file executable (right-click > permissions) and then run it.

Thank you very much Robin. I’m very new to Linux. The code you provided has installed it. I think I did double click the .run installer. I’ve only been using Linux for a few days. I’ll need to read more Linux instructional material and watch some tutorial videos.
Once again, many thanks for your help.
