Hi, Running the normal pydio for years now, and want to try the new one, but where to start? the binary isn’t running, tried the linux and mac version. ```auto root@fileserver:/usr/local/www/pydio # uname -a FreeBSD fileserver.flissinger.local 11.1-RELEASE-p10 FreeBSD 11.1-RELEASE-p10 #91: Tue May 15 22:21:42 CEST 2018 donald@fileserver.flissinger.local:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/FILESERVER amd64 ``` Linux version: ```auto root@fileserver:/usr/local/www/pydio # ./cells ELF binary type "0" not known. ./cells: Exec format error. Binary file not executable. root@fileserver:/usr/local/www/pydio # ``` Mac version: ```auto root@fileserver:/usr/local/www/pydio # ./cells ./cells: Exec format error. Binary file not executable. root@fileserver:/usr/local/www/pydio # ``` ---

Hi, > [@megapearl](#): > > ./cells: Exec format error. Binary file not executable. this line implies that you should use `chmod` and give it execution rights. ---

You should edit it by : chmod u+x cells ---

The files already are executable, that was the first thing I checked, any other ideas? ```auto root@fileserver:/usr/local/www/pydio # ls -l total 120678 -rwxrwxr-x 1 www www 169851176 May 16 08:16 cells -rwxrwxr-x 1 www www 61497955 May 16 08:16 cells-ctl -rw-rw-r-- 1 www www 34520 May 16 08:13 LICENSE root@fileserver:/usr/local/www/pydio # chmod u+x cells root@fileserver:/usr/local/www/pydio # ls -l total 120678 -rwxrwxr-x 1 www www 169851176 May 16 08:16 cells -rwxrwxr-x 1 www www 61497955 May 16 08:16 cells-ctl -rw-rw-r-- 1 www www 34520 May 16 08:13 LICENSE root@fileserver:/usr/local/www/pydio # ./cells ELF binary type "0" not known. ./cells: Exec format error.

From what i have just read on internet it’s an issue related to freeBSD, some people are advising to run it on [linux compat mode](https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/elf-binary-type-0-not-known.24672/) maybe you searched for it otherwise we advise you to use the systems that we listed in our admin guides. ---

I’m using FreeBSD since the start in 1993, so I want to stick with it, also using Ajaxplorer since the start, Now running Pydio 8.2.0 on both FreeBSD servers which is running fine and I’m happy with it. I think I’ll wait till there will be an FreeBSD version available for Cells then. I’m also happy to pay for it. Thanks! ---

yes, right now it’s not available but it will be in the future, for pydio 8.0.2 you can use freeBSD but for cells it’s still a work in progress. edit : We will keep you updated when it’s available
