I want to install executable of amd64 (x86) architecture on ARM architecture

Question

I have just installed software (LabView linux supported version) on my laptop and its working fine. Recently I installed it on ARM cortex-A9 processor (zynq 7z020) and successfully installed all packages. Problem is; when I run the executable, It shows following error : "Cannot execute binary file"

This error is due to mismatch of architecture, because version of LabView supported for x86 architecture and I am installing it on ARM. I have recently try to install wine to run executables but wine not running on ARM.

Kindly guide me how to install the executable on ARM? Any suggestion will be appreciated.

Thanks and Regards,

You generally cannot run binaries using a different CPU architecture under Linux. Efforts have been made on making this happen, but has not gained traction.

It appears from https://www.ni.com/en-us/support/downloads/software-products/download.labview.html#305508 that LabView is not available for your platform (they only consider the x64 platform which is Intel/AMD, not ARM).

Emulation will not make you happy.

Consider writing them and ask for it, and then find a PC to run LabView on in the meantime.
