You don’t need to install Mono if you’re using the packages like that. The error message suggests either you’re running i686 instead of x86_64, or that you’re running the Linux binaries on OS X. What’s the name of the file you downloaded?
James,
Thanks for your response. I just downloaded the wrong distribution (linux distro on mac). Are there any good incremental learning tools that you can point to get started ?
There are a number of issues here. Can you confirm whether you installed the package or downloaded a .tar.gz?
Typically “cannot execute binary file” means that the binary you are trying to run is built for a different architecture than your system. Are you running a 32 bit version of Linux?
Also the latest version of Ubuntu I believe has switched to systemd, meaning the init scripts in the packages are not compatible. We currently only produce packages for the most recent LTS version of Ubuntu.
