Hi , I can not get QGroundControl.AppImage to install on RPi4/ Linux, despite trying latest RaspberyPi OS, latest Ubuntu, Libfuse2, gstreamer, etc as per docs.PX4 instructions. It says “executable”& “binary” -but does not open/execute in any way. Much appreciated, Redrc. ---

As I know, QGroundControl.AppImage compile for x86, but RPi is ARM v8. You need cross-compile QGC from source code. > [@QGC on raspberry pi](https://discuss.px4.io/t/qgc-on-raspberry-pi/17270/9): > > lo instale en la raspberry pi 4 en raspbian 32 bits con mono pero es muy lenta.

Thanks Artem. These are for older RPi3 Buster. 1.Is there any for latest RPi4B Bullseye? 2. So much coding… is there a ready file somewhere for installation? 3. I would like to go back to Raspberry OS, and remove Ubuntu, (as I have lost touch screen magnification by two fingers after installing latest ubuntu.)? Thanks so much, Redrc ---

Really don’t know, I didn’t do this. But many people are wrote: “It’s imposible”, and only few one said “I did it!” > [@Redrc](#): > > 1.

Your trouble isn’t in OS( or not only in OS). Good luck!
