.. tip::
The meaning of architecture names:
- **x86-64** (also known as amd64) refers to computers running a 64-bit version of the operating system
on standard Intel and AMD 64-bit processors.
- **aarch64** (also known as arm64) refers to computers running an ARM 64-bit version of the operating system
on 64-bit ARM processors (ARMv8-A and ARMv9-A) such as Apple M1 devices or Raspberry Pi computers
(Raspberry Pi 3B and above, excluding Pi Zero (W/WH) model).
- **armv7l** (also known as armhf) refers to computers running an ARMv7 version of the operating system
on 32-bit or 64-bit ARM processors (ARMv7-A, ARMv8-A, ARMv9-A) such as Raspberry Pi computers
(2B and above, excluding Pi Zero (W/WH) model).
