installing mod_pagespeed on ubuntu22

I am trying to install mod_pagespeed on my AWS EC2 ubuntu-22 machine.

I am trying the following way

Download the stable release

sudo wget https://dl-ssl.google.com/dl/linux/direct/mod-pagespeed-stable_current_amd64.deb
Installing the package

sudo dpkg -i mod-pagespeed-*.deb

Installation giving me the below error

Selecting previously unselected package mod-pagespeed-stable:amd64. (Reading database ... 165032 files and directories currently installed.) Preparing to unpack mod-pagespeed-stable_current_amd64.deb ... Unpacking mod-pagespeed-stable:amd64 (1.13.35.2-r0) ... dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of mod-pagespeed-stable:amd64: mod-pagespeed-stable:amd64 depends on libc6 (>= 2.17). mod-pagespeed-stable:amd64 depends on apache2.

dpkg: error processing package mod-pagespeed-stable:amd64 (--install): dependency problems - leaving unconfigured Errors were encountered while processing: mod-pagespeed-stable:amd64

So I tried to install libc6 by sudo apt-get install libc6 and getting below output

Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done Reading state information... Done libc6 is already the newest version (2.35-0ubuntu3.1). libc6 set to manually installed. 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 62 not upgraded.

It mean I already have the latest version of libc so why I am getting this error.

Silly question, but which EC2 instance type are you using?

@matigo type has anything to do with it?

If you're using one that doesn't support `amd64`, then yes. Hence the silly question: start with the easy stuff then begin digging into the more complicated things ...

architecture is `arm64` so I have added that architecture as foreign by `sudo dpkg --add-architecture amd64`

Looks like [Google has no plans on supporting Arm](https://github.com/apache/incubator-pagespeed-ngx/issues/1213). That said, there is a comment near the bottom of that thread where someone offers a link that shows how to compile from source in order to make it work. This is outside the scope of something that I'm willing to test ahead of time, though.

@urfusion even adding AMD64 as foreign won't allow you to *run* it. You won't be able to run this in arm64 environments.

Is there any way achieve this. Or a better caching mod of apache ?

mod_pagespeed is an AMD64 package. Google has no intention on supporting ARM as a supported arch for pagespeed or other Google built plugins.

Even adding amd64 as a foreign architecture won't solve your problem - you cannot run amd64 code on an ARM processor (even arm64) as they don't speak the same languages.

You will NOT be able to install Pagespeed modules into Apache or otherwise if you are not using an amd64 AWS EC2 instance. Asa you are using an arm64 instance, you cannot use Pagespeed.

Which AES EC2 you recommend to use for mod_pagespeed. Right now I am using `On Demand Linux t4g.xlarge`. Or best caching for ARM64 with apache2

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
