Feature description

I just got an ARM64 computer and was expecting that I could just install processing 4. However, I discovered that it there was no ARM version. I would really like to use processing 4 on the computer so I was wondering if there was any possibility that an ARM version could be created?

Benefits

Allowing more people to access and use a great Java software like processing 4 with ARM computers.

Possible challenges

No response

Additional context

No response

Would you like to work on the issue?

I'm not really a great Linux person so someone else would probably be better suited.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the processing.org download page and the process used to publish Linux builds; the issue names no source file, test, or existing ARM64 build entry point. Done would require the ARM64 availability question to be resolved and reflected on the download page, with the publishing path documented.
