Hi everyone,

I’m trying to set up my smart node and have run into issues with opening the rocketpool node stack from my machine. Even though I have downloaded the correction version for my x64 machine, I am getting this error:

```auto
cannot execute binary file: Exec format error

```

Has anyone of you experienced and/or solved this issue? If yes how? 🙂

Best,  
Vince
