Fw: Re: Can you help me run Box64 on my Raspberry Pi 5?
Hello,
Dan told me to send this to the mailing list instead of individual people. This command worked:
sudo apt install ./scanner_x86_64_1.7.2312301E.deb
However, I still need to find the executable and run it. I think it's "scanner:amd".
Thanks,
Matt Timpson 🍉

I have tried and failed to pay computer technicians online to help me because most of them don't work in Linux.
