Miniforge Installer - Exec format error

• I read the conda-forge documentation and could not find the solution for my problem there.

Issue: Miniforge Installer - Exec format error
I'm trying to install Miniforge on a Raspberry Pi 3b+, with

bash Miniforge3-Linux-aarch64.sh

However, I'm running into the following error.
This seems to be an error with the install script, since it is trying to run an .exe file on the Raspberry Pi OS. Or, I could be making an obvious mistake.

Error Message:

PREFIX=/home/pi/miniforge3

Miniforge3-Linux-aarch64.sh: line 318: /home/pi/miniforge3/conda.exe: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error

Raspberry Pi OS is a 32 bit OS.

MIniforce only works with 64 bit processors, and 64 bit OS.

Please install a linux distribution that has a 64bit kernel on your Raspberry Pi Hardware.

I would also contact the Raspberry PI Foundations and let them know that 64 bit support is important to you.

Okay, that is explains it. Thank you!
