Richard ? ? ? ? Derek, I remembered a few other things so here is a follow up on running gateway on an ARM.? The installation will fail when installing a fresh IB or TWS download on an Arm Linux machine.? So the workaround is to install on an x86-X64 desktop, then compress and copy the 'Jts' folder onto the Arm filesystem.? Then used a modified script like the one I sent in the last post.? Make sure you install the Jts on the Arm in an identical file structure as your x86-x64 or you will get path errors.? For example, install in "/home/johndoe/Jts" in both the x86-64 and the Arm. As Richard indicated, the jar files will run fine on the Arm once started correctly, it is the install and startup scripts that are messing things up.?? ?

Do a diff on the attached script to see the changes I made to run the gateway.? I have run it on both a pi3 and and xu4. ?

The rationale for this is that a) it means the user doesn’t have to take the trouble to install and maintain a suitable Java version; and b) this should reduce support problems for IB because in theory the user will not accidentally use an incompatible Java version. ? Now, the actual Java compiled class files, being pure Java, are I believe identical on all platforms for TWS and Gateway, and should run with any Java VM. So in theory you should be able to install TWS/Gateway on another machine (Ubuntu perhaps or even Windows) and then just copy the relevant jar files over to the ARM machine. You’d then need to install a suitable Java on the ARM machine: I don’t know whether Oracle produce a Java version for the ARM architecture, but if they don’t you might be able to find another implementation. Ah, I’ve just discovered that indeed Oracle do support ARM. ? Once you’ve got the JAR files and the Java runtime in place, it should just be a matter of using an appropriate Java command with the correct arguments to start the thing off. I can help with that because that’s exactly what IBC/IBController do under the covers. ? So if you think this might be an avenue worth pursuing, then please let me know and get Oracle Java installed . I’ll then post the details of which jar files to copy, and the appropriate Java command (I can’t be bothered to go and look this up unless you’re actually going to use it). ? Needless to say, there’s no guarantee this will work, but there’s also no obvious reason why it won’t. ? Richard ? ? ? ? This is the error screen I have.? Seems it is related to Java.? Hey Derek,
I use ubuntu all the time for my gateway and tws machines, the ARM64 thing might be a bit odd though, I've no experience with that.
Does it state that your java version is wrong or is that a guess? If its as statement then it's a fairly good thing to look at updating, if it's a guess, well... ummm... maybe?! Best wishes, M ?

Guess it is because the JVM is not supported.? Any suggestion?
