Issues with Installing EPrints on Ubuntu 22.04
Revision as of 15:02, 1 May 2026 by Drn@ecs.soton.ac.uk (talk | contribs) (Added issue as Ubuntu 22.04 is now only LTS that needs libncurses5 rather than libncurses6)
N.B. It is assumed that you are installing the latest version of 3.4. Earlier versions may have issues not listed here.
NO CURRENT ISSUES
Previous issues
- libsepol1 Deb package no longer exists
- This has been removed as a dependency on 29th May 2022, as it is not specifically required by EPrints.
- MySQL root user cannot be used
- This is now explained under EPrints' Getting Started instructions. As it is typical for most modern Linux operating systems.
- libncurses6 Deb package not available
- In more recent versions of Ubuntu libncurses6 is the name for the ncurses package but as Ubuntu 22.04 is older you will need to install libncurses5 instead.
