Update: I found that I couldn't find a arm64 for chrome remote desktop. Thanks Ccode!

I am having issues based on installing deb files on the raspberry pi os. I get errors when I attempt to install something. For example: I attempted to install Chrome Remote Desktop, but it ask to install soo much apps that I can't install on the raspberry pi. I tried installing the things it wants, and apt suggested that I should use a command to repair the app. I did it, but it says it can't install everything else. I expected that It will install all of it, but it didn't. My Dad has told me that the raspberry pi may not be meant to install these, but I was wondering if maybe there is some way to bypass these errors?

Thanks!

Using Raspberry pi 4 with raspberry pi os

UPDATE INFO:

I tried to update the architecture, but did not work. There is specific parts of the app that I can't download.

Here is the command log:

  • Are you sure you're installing the debs for the correct architecture (arm, not amd / x86)

  • It says that I don't have the right architecture, and then I change it. still doesn't work. Note that more things needed to get installed in order for the app to be fully working.

  • What do you change? Find a deb with the correct architecture? Please an example to your query with full commands and output (error messages)
    – Dirk
    Apr 1, 2022 at 15:37
  • I did the command: sudo dpkg --add-architecture [architecture I need to have for deb file]
    – LilData777
    Apr 1, 2022 at 16:11
  • Pls re-read my previous comment... add full commands and msgs to your question. Your last command is of very limited value.. BTW: changing architecture on your Pi will not e.g. make an intel deb work on a Pi...

looks like your installing for the wrong arch. Try downloading the file for armvl7 or arm and running again.

  • I don't see where you see that I didn't install the right one. it wants amd64, and I did that.

  • ` it wants amd64` Don't think so. You added amd64 so that's what it tries to install, As stated above it's the wrong (incompatible) architecture

    @Friendlygabe777 Raspberry pi is arm not amd. Your can't run a intel app on an arm computer.

  • Did not work. said the architecture did not exist.

    Apr 4, 2022 at 11:18
  • On what? The pi or the website you were getting it off of?
