and if you try to install these dependencies through apt repository, it doesn’t exist. well, yup i figured that we need to install these manually as it is NOT PROVIDED IN THE OFFICIAL DOCUMENTATION. Luckily i came across this thread Installation failed in ubuntu 24.04 lts and the solutions by aldrick works like butter! here are the steps:

  1. download libtinfo5_6.4-2_amd64 with curl
curl -O http://launchpadlibrarian.net/648013231/libtinfo5_6.4-2_amd64.deb

then install it, either with dpkg -i or apt install ./{package_name}.deb

sudo dpkg -i libtinfo5_6.4-2_amd64.deb
  1. download libncurses5_6.4-2_amd64.deb with curl
curl -O http://launchpadlibrarian.net/648013227/libncurses5_6.4-2_amd64.deb

then install it, either with dpkg -i or apt install ./{package_name}.deb

sudo dpkg -i libncurses5_6.4-2_amd64.deb
  1. download libaio1 with curl
curl -O http://launchpadlibrarian.net/646633572/libaio1_0.3.113-4_amd64.deb

then install it, either with dpkg -i or apt install ./{package_name}.deb

sudo dpkg -i libaio1_0.3.113-4_amd64.deb

and if there are libnss3-tools error you are getting, you could get it in the apt repository

sudo apt install libnss3-tools

then finally, install localwp!

sudo apt install ./local-9.1.1-linux.deb

Enjoy!
