Arm Server Install

#1 Install Ubuntu 25.04 ARM

For running Row64 server on Arm, you currently need to use the iso for Ubuntu 25.04 ARM 64-bit architecture.

Get the Desktop ISO:
https://ubuntu.com/download/desktop

Next, install third-party graphics drivers.

This install check box often installs good drivers from our tests. It’s part of the install process

You will need to create a user called row64 with administrator privileges.

#2 Install Row64 Server

First Update & Upgrade Ubuntu from the terminal:

sudo apt update -y
sudo apt upgrade -y

Get the latest .deb installation file here:
https://app.row64.com/Install/V3_5/UbuntuArm/row64server-3.5_arm64.deb

From the terminal, run:

sudo dpkg -i row64server-3.5_arm64.deb

Next, connect Row64 with Apache (Web Server). From the terminal, run:

sudo python3 /opt/row64server/install/Connect_Ubuntu.py

NOTE: To simplify installation, this .py will install Apache and connect Row64 for you. If you want to modify or tune this installation, you can modify this .py file. It’s a minimal and straightforward process.

sudo systemctl status row64server

If it's working, it will look like this:

Other useful commands:

sudo systemctl start row64server
sudo systemctl stop row64server

#6 Extra Tools

Sublime Text Editor

Our preferred text editor is Sublime Text. It can be installed with the following command:

sudo snap install sublime-text --classic

Chrome

If you install Chrome on the server, be aware that Chrome has two web assembly compilers, and in older versions, can occasionally run a slow compiler. If you notice Chrome is slower:

Navigate to this editing page:

chrome://flags/#enable-webassembly-baseline

And change “WebAssembly baseline compiler” to “Disabled”
