I’m having the same problem on Debian 12 on Proxmox.

Influxdb does actually install, as the binary exists in the path /root/.influxdb/.

If you try to run `influxdb3 --version`, you get an “Illegal instruction” error. You don’t need any more parameters to verify the problem.

This leads me to this post where they discuss the relationship between our hardware CPU and the influx binary [Influxdb3 OSS does not start](https://community.influxdata.com/t/influxdb3-oss-does-not-start/57523)

In my case, with more `/proc/cpuinfo` I get:

```auto
processor: 0
vendor_id: GenuineIntel
cpu family: 15
model : 107
model name : QEMU Virtual CPU version 2.5+
stepping : 1
microcode : 0x1

```

The physical CPU is an Intel(R) Core™ i3-6100T on which I run Proxmox.

Does all this mean that Influxdb 3 cannot be run on relatively old hardware?
