[BUG] Illegal byte sequence when running code-server

[ZreXoc]

I downloaded the 32 bit version of code-server with the following commands:

$ wget https://github.com/coder/code-server/releases/download/v3.5.0/code-server-3.5.0-linux-x86_64.tar.gz

$ tar -zxf code-server-3.5.0-linux-x86_64.tar.gz 

But when I run ./code-server-3.5.0-linux-x86_64/bin/code-server , I got:

/root/code-server-3.5.0-linux-x86_64/lib/node: line 1: can't create �쑗@�?��@8: Illegal byte sequence
/root/code-server-3.5.0-linux-x86_64/lib/node: line 2: syntax error: unexpected ")" 

How can I solve it? Or are there any other ways to install code-server?

I made a mistake, it should be "illegal" instead of "legal" in the title of this issue. Can anyone fix it? Thx.

Hi! It looks like you've gotten an x86_64 (which is 64-bit) version :)
As for the title, you should be able to change it by clicking the "Edit" button to the right of it.

Node.js dropped 32-bit builds a while back, and, if I recall correctly, code-server relies on a version of Node.js that doesn't have a 32-bit version. It might still be possible to compile it from scratch, but I gave up after a couple of attempts due to me spending way too many hours chasing weird build errors and bugs while compiling a 32-bit version.
