Go Mod Download on Raspberry Pi4-CodePudding

Am running into a "cannot execute binary file: Exec format error" when running the following command from the below repository:

go mod download github.com/cih-y2k/wedeploy-gosocketio

https://github.com/kuoyaoming93/guardian-mainnet-guide/blob/master/docs/COMPILE_ARM64.md#install-guardian-node-from-source-code

Have deleted and re-downloaded the necessary directories, wasn't the solution.

Does this mean I need to download another language for this file to execute?

Thank you!

CodePudding user response：

My recommendation is to follow all the steps mentioned to use theta with arm64, otherwise you could be using the binaries from another arch like amd64.

I did a quick check in my raspberry and no problem reported, since the go.mod file has been replaced. with a new one with correct branches.

Finally, cannot execute binary file: Exec format error means that you are using binaries that doesn't match with the current host architecture, in this case arm64.

Since raspberry is Linux based you can use the following to verify the arch:

pi@raspberrypi  ~  arch ; uname -m
armv6l
armv6l

Go Env is also a check you should do:

pi@raspberrypi  ~  go env | grep -i ARCH
GOARCH="arm"
GOHOSTARCH="arm"
