🤔 That usually happens when there aren't any tools available that match your host architecture.
Do you mind sending the output of uname -a ? 🙏

Hi, I have the same problem, here's my output for uname -r:
6.2.0-33-generic

Thank you!

@expert-amateur my bad, I've noticed that I typed the wrong flag 🤦. Could you run uname -a? That would tell me among other info if you're running 32 or 64 bit.

I'm running Ubuntu Jammy Jellyfish on a intel i7 laptop.

This is my result for uname -a

I think this is the issue when, trying to install arduino-cli from the snap. I got the issue rectified after following the official documentation for installing arduino-cli

[brainexe]

same here, I used the snap and got exactly the same error...using the prebuild binary worked fine :)

$ arduino-cli version # from snap

There are some problems with snap installation. I think the problem lies on the strict confinement: https://snapcraft.io/docs/snap-confinement used here

The cli installed with snap does not use normal ~/.arduino15 dir but a confined ~/snap/arduino-cli/43/.arduino15
Maybe @manchoz can help us with that 🙏
