have you loaded the deb file in the folder where you issue the dpkg command?

Note the amd64 image is not going to work on Raspberry Pi – you'll need arm64 e.g. something like qlcplus_4.13.1_arm64.deb

Ensure the file is in the folder you are currently in - you can use the ls command and you should see it there.

Also, you may need to add "./" to the beginning of the deb file, such as sudo dpkg -i ./qlcplus_4.13.1_amd64.deb

Also, dpkg command has not worked for me because of missing dependencies (although this is not your problem based on your error message), I used sudo apt install ./qlcplus_4.13.1_arm64.deb

Hi dwarren24

Are you still struggling to get QLCplus working on your PI?

I know that mcallegari has a ready made image for PI that you can purchase?

https://www.qlcplus.org/discover/raspberry-pi

I have been working on getting QLCplus 4.14.1 working on an Odroid C4, which is an ARM64 based SBC.

You can download the DEB file that I have created on that if it helps you?
