Hi everyone,

I'm new to linux and I am trying to install FreeFileSync 11.13 but once the downloaded file (linux version) is decompressed, when I double click on the .run file nothing happens...

I tried installing from the terminal with the commands "chmod +x filename" and "./filename" but then i get the following error message : "cannot execute binary file: Exec form at error" and so far I havent been able to find a solution online.

I've got the following installation : OS Name Ubuntu 20.10 / OS type 64-bit / GNOME version 3.38.3 / windowing system X11 on a raspeberry Pi 400.

If anyone has an idea of what could be the problem and how to solve it i'd be very grateful for your help.

Inari.

Some enterprising individual has instructions on how to compile FreeFileSync on a Raspberry Pi. Those would work, in general, for any architecture.
