Support aarch64 architecture for Linux OS #276
Description
Activity
Hi @opoku 👋🏻
Thanks a lot for taking the time to share your issue! 🙇🏻 This is great feedback and it sounds like we should consider supporting Linux on non-x86-64 architectures.
I agree with your suggested next steps:
- Update Install Scripts to error on Linux when the architecture is not x86-64. The error message can display steps to manually compile the project.
- Update our CI/CD to build and publish aarch664 on Linux.
❓ Question for you - what hardware are you running your Linux distro on? Macbook aarm, Raspberry Pi, or something else? I'm asking to help us setup a virtual machine that can we can test on.
I'm having the same issue (got "📺 Success! The Slack CLI is now installed!" but the binary's not compatible) -- I'm on a Raspberry Pi 3b.

on May 18, 2026 @opoku @libbybeer Hello! 👋 We're planning to land support in our upcoming release, but development builds might find this sooner with the following command:
curl -fsSL https://downloads.slack-edge.com/slack-cli/install-dev.sh | bash🔗 https://github.com/slackapi/slack-cli/releases/tag/dev-build
I'm hoping this installs as expected but will follow up with fixes however needed 🫡

It appears that the linux version only supports the x86-64 architecture. Since Linux also runs on other architectures (in my specific case 64-bit arm), it would be useful to either generate a build for that architecture or at the minimum check in the installation script for non-x86-64 architectures and show an appropriate error message instead.
It currently indicates a successful installation even though the resulting binary does not actually run successfully.
