There isn’t a release for P4 on Pi4, there is no official support for 32bit or 64bit arm architecture. I have got earlier versions (Sam Pottinger releases to work on both by installing an appropriate jdk). See [Processing in style with Java 11 - #39 by villares](https://discourse.processing.org/t/processing-in-style-with-java-11/13776/39), you will probably find that Ben Fry releases won’t work, because it expects to use a pre-installed jdk but you could [give it a try](https://adoptopenjdk.net/releases.html). Meanwhile my ruby-processing implementation [PiCrate](https://ruby-processing.github.io/PiCrate/) for RaspberryPI4 works fine (I prefer to use ManjaroArm Linux 64 bit OS, but also works with RaspberryPI OS).
