Hi @Chris_B
We have some dependency issues presently for Linux/Ubuntu that may make for a not quite trouble-free install. Some details and workarounds here:
Hello all,
Yes, I was able to get this working on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS by following the steps provided by @aldrick .
You’ll need to install the following packages to satisfy all dependencies:
libtinfo5_6.4-2_amd64
libncurses5_6.4-2_amd64
libaio1_0.3.113-4_amd64
libnss3-tools
The easiest way I found to do this is by using Curl to download and then dpkg to install the first three.
Download libtinfo5_6.4-2_amd64 and then install the package:
Download: curl -O http://launchpadlibrarian.net/648…

The easiest fix would be for WPEngine/Flywheel to move it along to ncurses6. which is more widely available. An immediate fix in your case is possible but comes with risks if you are not confident bringing in packages from Ubuntu 22.04 without it interfering with the rest of your system.
The 22.04 …
These are things we plan to address down the road but the vast majority of our users are on Windows/MacOS so we have to prioritize our work accordingly.
