## x86_64 support*
***x86_64 is not supported.** Not officially anyway. It is mainly there for developers or otherwise more Linux savvy people.
That being said, some pointers:
- Use Debian 12
- The user needs passwordless sudo
- We use a custom TFLite build that needs AVX2 support. So Intel Haswell or newer, not sure what that means for AMD cpu's, let me know if you do.
- Some people get around the previous point by uninstalling `tflite_runtime` and replacing with `tensorflow` in the `./birdnet` venv. But beware: analysis will be slower, and the older v1 model won't work.

For Proxmox, a user has reported adding this in their `cpu-models.conf`, in order for the custom TFLite build to work.
```
cpu-model: BirdNet
flags +sse4.1
reported-model host
```

## Uninstallation
```
/usr/local/bin/uninstall.sh && cd ~ && rm -drf BirdNET-Pi
