Question

Hi! I’m self hosting airbyte on ec2. I’m trying to migrate from docker compose to abctl but running into an error with system architecture I believe. Wondering if anyone ran into the same issue and how they solved it.

aarch64```
```curl -LsfS <https://get.airbyte.com> | bash -

Installing for Linux...
Downloading abctl from <https://github.com/airbytehq/abctl/releases/download/v0.13.1/abctl-v0.13.1-linux-amd64.tar.gz>
Installing 'release/abctl-v0.13.1-linux-amd64/abctl' to /usr/local/bin
bash: line 242: /usr/local/bin/abctl: cannot execute binary file

abctl install failed: bash: line 242: /usr/local/bin/abctl: cannot execute binary file```

Switch your instance type to amd64

there’s an arm64 release pre-built: https://github.com/airbytehq/abctl/releases/tag/v0.13.1. the install script must not handle that, but you can install abctl manually for the right platform

thanks for bringing this to our attention. I will look at the script today.
