Install Pi-Apps on raspbian-buster-64.
Raw
pi-apps-on-raspbian-buster-64.md

install raspbian-nspawn-64

sudo apt install raspbian-nspawn-64

Enable the 64-bit kernel and reboot. Ensure raspbian-nspawn-64 is running with:

ds64-start

Then open a shell in the 64-bit container to run commands in:

ds64-start

Install dependencies to make Pi-Apps work

In the ds64-shell:

sudo apt update; sudo apt install yad wget mousepad lxterminal

By default, raspbian-nspawn-64 shares its home directory with yours. Installing Pi-Apps on raspbian-nspawn-64 to the default location would interfere with your 32-bit machine's Pi-Apps installation. To solve this, we'll install pi-apps to a non-default directory.

Install Pi-Apps

In the ds64-shell:

mkdir ~/pi-apps-64
git clone https://github.com/Botspot/pi-apps pi-apps-64
~/pi-apps-64/install

Run 64-bit Pi-Apps

In the ds64-shell:

pi-apps
