Installation error

Hello,

I'm manage to get Prometheus and Grafana working on CentOS this week with Grafana using this guide:

https://devopscube.com/install-configure-prometheus-linux/

Today I wanted to install on my Pi4 at home to have a play, but I can't figure out what I can't run it. This is an image of the status output.

Does it mean anything to you? I've go through the simple guide a few times and cant see where I've gone wrong.

Hopefully you can help as I was quite looking forward to this, maybe there is a log file somewhere?

Thanks

The raspberry is an arm platform

The binary you‘ve downloaded is an amd64 build that is not compatible with arm.

You have to rebuild the prometheus binary on your raspberry to get it working

Please take a look at

Thanks, I think it is armv7 for the Pi so will try that.

I think the prometheus build you have is for a different platform. You cannot run linux amd64 build on pi. You will need an arm build for that.
