Install fails on Raspberry Pi 4 Model B (64 bit)

Calibre newbie

Trying to install calibre-6.6.1-arm64.txz on Raspberry Pi 4 Model B 64 bit. Install fails with:

Code:

/opt/calibre/calibre_postinstall: 1: Syntax error: word unexpected (expecting ")"

I tried to run debug:

Code:

/opt/calibre/bin $ ./calibre-debug -g 
bash: ./calibre-debug: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error

Any suggestions?

TIA
Brian

Is your PI running a 64bit OS?

Hi, Kovid
You are right, I've somehow installed a 32-bit OS.

Sorry to have bothered you.
