cannot get cool-retro-term to work (Exec format error) #574

Hello,

on https://github.com/Swordfish90/cool-retro-term I found the installation procedure with appimage:

wget https://github.com/Swordfish90/cool-retro-term/releases/download/1.1.1/Cool-Retro-Term-1.1.1-x86_64.AppImage
chmod a+x Cool-Retro-Term-1.1.1-x86_64.AppImage
./Cool-Retro-Term-1.1.1-x86_64.AppImage

I did exactly that but cannot get it to work.

My default shell is fish and it says:

./Cool-Retro-Term-1.1.1-x86_64.AppImage
Failed to execute process './Cool-Retro-Term-1.1.1-x86_64.AppImage'. Reason:
exec: Exec format error
The file './Cool-Retro-Term-1.1.1-x86_64.AppImage' is marked as an executable but could not be run by the operating system.

But even when using bash I get an error:

./Cool-Retro-Term-1.1.1-x86_64.AppImage
bash: ./Cool-Retro-Term-1.1.1-x86_64.AppImage: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error

Can anyone help please?

Thanks in advance. Greetings. Rosika

P.S.: OS: BodhiLinux, 32bit running as VM

Hi, it seems the error is on my side. I neglected an important fact: Cool-Retro-Term-1.1.1-x86_64.AppImage clearly denotes an application for 64bit-systems. As my Bodhi is 32bit it´s bound not to work.

Greetings. Rosika
