cannot install miniconda on pi (SOLVED)

[sonettguy]

I'm trying to install miniconda on a pi zero running raspbian stretch and using python 2.7. I follow the posted instructions. I edit the bash instruction to match my selection of 32-bit miniconda, rather than the 64 that is cited in the instructions.

Installing on Linux
Download the installer:
Miniconda installer for Linux.

In your terminal window, run:
Miniconda:

Code: Select all

bash Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86.sh

Follow the prompts on the installer screens.
If you are unsure about any setting, accept the defaults. You can change them later.
To make the changes take effect, close and then re-open your terminal window.
Test your installation.

This is what happens.

Code: Select all

Do you accept the license terms? [yes|no]
[no] >>> yes
Miniconda2 will now be installed into this location:
/home/user/miniconda2
- Press ENTER to confirm the location
- Press CTRL-C to abort the installation
- Or specify a different location below
[/home/user/miniconda2] >>> 
PREFIX=/home/user/miniconda2
installing: python-2.7.15-h9bab390_6 ...
Miniconda2-latest-Linux-x86.sh: line
373: /home/user/miniconda2/pkgs/python-2.7.15-h9bab390_6/bin/python:
cannot execute binary file: Exec format error
user@pi:/home/pi/Downloads $ conda list bash: conda: command not found

The files are downloaded into the microconda2 folder. But, the most basic command doesn't work, likely due to the abort. I removed everything reset and started over, but with the same result. Am I missing something basic? Like, perhaps, a secret to the install folder location? Or, not trying to do it as a sudo user?

You appear to be attempting to install x86 code on your RPi. The RPi uses an ARM processor not Intel x86 i386 etc.
If the tutorial does not specifically mention for RPi and give detailed install instructions for the RPi then don't even bother to download it.

OOOoooooh. I knew I missed something basic. Thanks.

MiniConda is for x86 CPU...
