I am running (Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS) on a laptop with an Intel Corei7 processor:



$ lscpu

Architecture: i686
CPU op-mode(s): 32-bit, 64-bit
Byte Order: Little Endian
CPU(s): 8
On-line CPU(s) list: 0-7

Core(s) per socket: 4
Socket(s): 1
Vendor ID: GenuineIntel
CPU family: 6
Model: 60
Model name: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4710HQ CPU @ 2.50GHz



I am trying to run the following:



$ file electrum-ltc-3.3.5.1-x86_64.AppImage

electrum-ltc-3.3.5.1-x86_64.AppImage: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib, for GNU/Linux 2.6.18, stripped



But I keep getting:



$ ./electrum-ltc-3.3.5.1-x86_64.AppImage 

bash: ./electrum-ltc-3.3.5.1-x86_64.AppImage: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error



I am so confused about i686 vs x86_64, but from what I've read, my pea brain suspects that the "Architecture: i686" is clashing with "ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64". Can someone please give me some guidance here. I just want to run the stupid electrum-ltc app. Thanks in advance.

64 bit computers can run 32 bit executables, but 32 bit computers cannot run 64 bit executables. Even if your computer is 64 bit capable, if you're running a 32 bit operating system, you'll be unable to run 64 bit executables.
