Topic: Pianoteq7 stage on Rasberry pi 4b

I have installed Pianoteq 7 on Linux and windows. Now My rasberry just arrived and I have Rasbian installed ,downloaded and unzipped Pianoteq. Now the question is how do I open it?  These are the files in the arm-64bit directory I unzipped:
extra 
'Pianoteq 7 STAGE' 
'Pianoteq 7 STAGE.lv2' 
'Pianoteq 7 STAGE.so'

Re: Pianoteq7 stage on Rasberry pi 4b

Simply run 'Pianoteq 7 STAGE' which is the arm binary (you will probably want to do the tweaks suggested in the README first).

Double click on it (assuming you're on the desktop or ./'Pianoteq 7 STAGE' from the command line).

it returns: Cannot execute binary file: Exec format error.And when I try to decompress it again : Permission denied.

Ah I see, the default Raspbian is 32bit so you can only run the Pianoteq from the arm-32bit folder.

If you want to run the Pianoteq from the 64bit folder, you have to install 64bit Raspbian (which is still beta testing):

Thank you it works. I thought rasberry pi4 was arm-64. I just got it yesterday.

No worries, the Pi4 is 64bit but as previous Pis were 32bit the stable OS is still 32bit for now.

Hi There, I have a similar probleem: Downloaded & unzipped the files. BUT: in the arm-32bit folder the Pianoteq 7 stage file presents itself as a 'shared library', not as an executable. Tried it on different PI's : 4 & 400 with same result, latest OS installed. Any clues? Thanks!

PS the Pianoteq folder is currently in de 'downloads' folder. Should I place it elsewhere?

Yes, better place it in your home directory and unzip your download there. The Downloads folder is just for parking downloaded archives, not for installations.

Than you can start the binary for example in a terminal window with:

$ /home/user/Pianoteq\ 7/arm-32bit/Pianoteq\ 7

or whatever the pathname of the PIanoteq stage edition is.

Another way to work around the blanks in the filenames is:

$ '/home/user/Pianoteq 7/arm-32bit/Pianoteq 7'
