I’m trying to install KiCad but am getting the following message: This installer is for a different processor architecture (arm64), please use the correct installer. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Hi @Diesel

What is your operating system?
What Kicad version are you trying to install?
Where is the Kicad version you are trying to install?

Edited title to be more informative.

I’m going to make a guess that you are on Windows but you should have downloaded the x86_64 package rather than the arm64 one.

Windows is most likely amd64 or x86_64, not arm64 (which is for Raspberry Pi devices).
Download it from here and it should work fine:

Your link includes the ARM64 version for ARM64 Windows (for Microsoft ARM Surface, etc.)

Sorry, yes, it is arm64 if you scroll down.
@Diesel - use the x86_64 installer from the top of the page.
