Why can't I install a .deb file

Question

When I try to install antimicrox-3.2.1-x86_64.deb and confirming I want to install it I get an error saying:

Failed to install file. A package could not be found that allows the action to complete. More information is available in the detailed report.

I am relatively new to Debian and Linux as a whole so I don't know where to find the detailed report. Is there an explanation to this error?

because raspberry pi isn't a x86_64 architecture - it's armhf architecture you're looking for - or arm64 if you're running 64 bit raspberry pi OS - which I doubt — Bravo, Feb 2, 2022 at 2:10
though, the deb package you want to install doesn't seem to come in arm flavour - you'll have to compile it from source — Bravo, Feb 2, 2022 at 2:17
though - if you look at the github issues, you'll find lots of help github.com/AntiMicroX/antimicrox/… and you can even use debian repository to install it without needing to compile - it's in one of those issues linked before - github.com/AntiMicroX/antimicrox/issues/121 — Bravo, Feb 2, 2022 at 2:22
not sure which thing worked - you could write an answer to your own question detailing exactly what you did :p — Bravo, Feb 2, 2022 at 8:27

I was installing the wrong version. After taking a download from this page, it worked perfectly.
