          @wdnp2 I tested the other the day, just for the sake of it, Ubuntu 18.04 + installer (snap, latest) + adb & fastboot tools and the installation worked great (YMMV)

                  I click on the deb file on ubports website and a file appears on my computer. I am unable to get any further than another file containing a blue button with install on it!
                  I have not tried the snap because its new to me and unfamiliar.

                        @wdnp2 is snapd installed on your computer? Ubuntu 18.04 and Snap packages are a well tested combo.

                          I get the following
                          william@LaptopL750:~$ snap install ubports-installer --edge
                          error: snap "ubports-installer" is not available on edge for this architecture
                          (i386) but exists on other architectures (amd64).

                            Hi
                            Am still trying to install ubports on my bq aquaris with no success
                            I installed snapd and tried snp but got nowhere
                            I am definitely in the correct directory here and get the following
                            patricia@patricia-R59P-R60P-R61P:~$ sudo dpkg -i ubports-installer_0.1.21-beta_amd64.deb
                            dpkg: error processing archive ubports-installer_0.1.21-beta_amd64.deb (--install):
                            package architecture (amd64) does not match system (i386)
                            Errors were encountered while processing:
                            ubports-installer_0.1.21-beta_amd64.deb
                            patricia@patricia-R59P-R60P-R61P:~$

                            Any further comments?
                            Many thanks

                              Hi @wdnp2,

                              The issues you are having is because you are trying to install a 64bit deb package on a 32 bit system.

                              I am not aware if there are any 32 bit packages floating around somewhere you could try ...

                                I couldn't find any 32bit packages. But maybe you could follow the instructions of how to run from source that are described here?

                                Or you could try getting access to a 64bit system and trying the regular installer (snap or deb) on there.

                                    Hi there, I'm trying to install on my Nexus 5. Both from Windows using Ubports-installer and trying to use Ubports-installer on my Rasbperry-Pi with Ubuntu Mate does not work.
                                    Trying from my Windows computer and the Ubports-installer, fastboot and adb works from command line, bot Ubports-installer does not recognize the phone.

                                    Trying to install Ubports-installer under Ubuntu Mate, an error message occurs that I'm using the wrong system architecture (armf vw amd64).

                                    Can anyone help me installing Ubuntu Touch in my Nexus 5 using my Windows computer or mx Raspberry Pi with Ubuntu Mate.

                                    Soe time ago I could use ubuntu-device-flash on my Raspberry PI, but this also seems not to work anymore.

                                    Thanks a lot.

                                          @wdnp2 you need to download ubports-installer_01.21-beta_amd64.deb from here https://github.com/ubports/ubports-installer/releases/tag/0.1.21-beta, and then run sudo dpkg -i ubports-installer_01.21-beta_amd64.deb to install it

                                            @advocatux Many thanks for your advice. I have now managed to install
                                            on the Aquaris. I overlooked the fact that it requires a 64bit OS and I needed
                                            to make sure I was in the correct directory.Once the installer was on my laptop
                                            it worked almost automatically.The device was in developer mode and fastboot
                                            Best Wishes
