How to install on Raspberry Pi 5 / Raspberry Pi OS (64Bit)

Installation & Configuration Linux
#1

Just for curiosity’s sake …
How do I install Ardour 9.8 on my Raspberry Pi 5, that is running Raspberry Pi OS (64 Bit) .

I’ve tried to install it via command line / terminal by using

su ./Ardour*.run

as well as

sudo ./Ardour*.run

and

./Ardour*.run

Just can’t get the installation process to start .

Help ASAP,
Toni .

Hello Toni,

After downloading the .run file it’s not executable yet so you could either make it executable first:
chmod +x ./Ardour-9.8.0-arm64.run

And then run:
./Ardour-9.8.0-arm64.run.

Another option is to run it from a separate shell:
/bin/sh ./Ardour-9.8.0-arm64.run

Then you don’t have to make the .run file executable first. Hope that helps!

Edit: removed sudo and replaced bash with /bin/sh, thanks @x42!

@autostatic sudo is not needed to install. Ardour’s installer asks for root permissions for the part that requires root.

The email with the download link should have pointed you to First-time run on Linux | Ardour DAW

Which provides instructions that Jeremy posted (sans sudo):

cd /folder/where/you/saved/the/file
/bin/sh ./<DOWNLOADED_FILENAME>.run

have fun mixing!
