Installing geth on Raspberry Pi 3 Ubuntu

Question

I have followed the instructions on the following website (https://chainskills.com/2017/02/24/create-a-private-ethereum-blockchain-with-iot-devices-16/) to install geth Ethereum client on a Raspberry Pi 3B.

After I download the binaries, untar, move the geth folder into my /usr/local/bin and type geth I get the following error:

Command 'geth' is available in '/usr/local/bin/geth'
The command could not be located because '/usr/local/bin' is not included in the PATH environment variable.
geth: command not found

If I cd into the folder and try running it I get the same error. If I run it with sudo I get sudo: unable to execute /usr/local/bin/geth: No such file or directory.

The version I am installing is the following: geth-alltools-linux-arm7-1.9.13-cbc4ac26.tar.gz and I am using Ubuntu Server 20

Answer 1

I found the solution. Two things:

1. I had installed an Ubuntu ARM64 OS so the geth version had to be changed from ARM7 to ARM64.
2. Run geth using sudo
