**TL;DR:** Please add a native **ARM64 / aarch64** Linux build (deb + AppImage). The current Linux .deb, AppImage, and APT repo are all **amd64 (x86\_64) only**, so Tempest can’t run on ARM64 Linux workstations.

### The ask

A native aarch64 Linux desktop build of Tempest — ideally both the `.deb` and the AppImage, and an arm64 APT channel.

### Why it matters

ARM64 Linux developer machines are no longer niche:

- **NVIDIA GB10 / DGX Spark** (Grace-Blackwell) — the box I’m on
- **Ampere** workstations/servers
- **Apple Silicon running Linux** (Asahi, VMs)
- Raspberry Pi 5 and similar SBCs

Tempest’s one-app, multi-protocol approach (SSH/SFTP/Kubernetes/RDP/…) is exactly what these dev boxes need, but there’s currently no way to install it natively.

### My machine

- **Device:** NVIDIA GB10 (Grace-Blackwell) developer workstation
- **Arch:** aarch64 / ARM64
- **OS:** Ubuntu 24.04.4 LTS, kernel 6.17 (NVIDIA DGX OS)
- **libc:** glibc 2.39 · libfuse present (for AppImage)
- **Desktop:** GNOME on X11 · 121 GB RAM

### Questions for the team

1. Is an arm64 Linux build planned? Any rough ETA?
2. Is there a **beta/nightly** aarch64 build I could test now?
3. In the meantime, is there a supported way to run the current release on aarch64 (build from source, or a known-good emulation path)?
4. Does the CLI/agent component have an aarch64 build?

Happy to beta-test and share logs/specs. Thanks for considering it!

Hi, thanks for your great advice

1. Yes, if everything goes ok, in a few weeks
2. Once it’s live, I’ll drop the link right here in this thread so you can take it for a spin.
3. You could try qemu or box64, but best to wait for our ARM native builds
4. Yes

I just ordered a DGX Spark, so I can’t test it myself yet. Please let me know if it works for you 😃

Awesome! The CLI error is due to a package conflict. If you don’t need ⁠python3-tempest⁠ anymore, you can try removing it, or using Storm AI to fix it for you XD
