Tiddly Desktop on Raspbian? Doesn't recognize nw as an executable file

When I try to run the nw executable I get a window that is prompting me to “Select an application to open “shared library” files.”

I am running the latest 32 bit raspbian and am trying to use the 32 bit linux version. Any ideas?

You might have to set it as executable. Maybe there is such an option when right clicking?
In any case you can set it through the command line using

chmod +x nw

Hi @Brad_DeBruler,

Is TiddlyDesktop available for ARM processors? Because if you try to run the x86 linux version on your raspberry pi it won’t work.

Hope this helps,

Fred

It helped my stop wasting time :smiley:

Well, the Apple Silicon are technically ARM, and there is TD version for them. After a quick search I have found out that the NW.js (on which TD is based) only supports the same platforms as TD now (x86 Win/Linux/Mac and ARM Mac), but there are experimental community builds of NW.js for ARMv7/8 Linux.

So based on this info, no real knowledge of providing software for different architectures, and some speculation, there may be some hope that this is achievable in the future :thinking:
