Starting influx client on raspberry pi 3B

I installed influx db on a Raspberry Pi 3B (OS: Raspian buster), following these instructions (merely the same):

Instruction 1
Instruction 2

Now on trying to start the influx client, I get the following error message:

bash: /usr/local/bin/influx: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error

I removed influxdb and went through the installation again with the same outcome. Has anybody some advice? Thanks!

To those who might stumble over the same problem:

apt apparently links the alias influx to the binary /usr/local/bin/influx, which for me caused the described error. However the "correct" binary /usr/bin/influx does, at least in my case, the expected thing: it starts the influxdb client!

To avoid the problem I simply created an alias on influx to the correct path.
