Sorry, it *is* configured to install recent Java (openjdk-11-jre).
The thing is, REW doesn't want a recent version (which leads to it trying to install the AMD64 JVM). As the above posts about the REW Linux Installer pointed out, REW wants Java 8. One needs only the JRE so let's get the openJDK version...
On my RPi4B running a test-team build of moOde 8 (just the only unmodified moOde player I have up ATM)
Where I had previously downloaded the REW installer script and marked it as executable.
I don't see a problem.
Of course, you'll now have the challenge of input and display once you get it running. Since the REW GUI creates an Xwindow, you could run it remotely from some other host running an Xserver, but that's outside the scope of moOde.
I still think an RPi4B running RaspbiOS Desktop is a better approach.

ETA - In response to Tim's last post, moOde 8 is built on RaspiOS Bullseye but I just confirmed the same procedure works on a moOde 7.6.1 player which is built on RaspiOS Buster.
Quote:But it seems there are some things in the MoodePi OS setup that prevent it from loading the current Linux REW and/or the necessary JRE. I’m just not smart enough to identify them.
Quote:But if the MoodePI OS could be configured such that we can install the latest JRE, we could just install the latest REW via SSH and run it that way on an as needed basis.
