  • Which OS are you using? Are you sure it's a 64-bit OS to begin with? (hint: official Raspbian isn't) Dec 12, 2016 at 17:08

    No, you can't have a 64-bit anything in a 32-bit system. Dec 12, 2016 at 17:46

  1. Both Python version 2.7 and version 3 have been pre-installed on Raspbian for quite some time. A whole raft of Python GPIO libraries is preinstalled too !
  2. You cannot run 64-bit software on 32-bit Operating Systems. All releases of Raspbian run the Pi3 in 32-bit mode only.
  3. Furthermore , a download page advertising 64-bit downloads is very likely offering x86_64 binaries which are useless for ARM computers like the Pi.
