Hi @Stefjs
I installed Unity on Ubuntu 18.04 as well and got the same error.
ARFoundation doesn't seem to support Linux yet. The arcoreimg binary is only available for Windows and MacOS plateforms.

Library/PackageCache/[email protected]/Tools~/
├── MacOS
│   └── arcoreimg
└── Windows
    └── arcoreimg.exe

If you don't need ARCore Image tracking, what you can do to not have the error is to go in the Other Settings panel of the Player settings and navigate to the Scripting Define Symbols text box. and write UNITY_EDITOR_OSX there. I build a simple AR app this way. I installed Android Studio to install Android SDK as well, because the Android SDK bundled with Unity on Linux doesn't work at all for me.

I tried to modify " Library/PackageCache/com.unity.xr.[email protected]/Editor/ARCoreBuildProcessor.cs" to add some condition for UNITY_EDITOR_LINUX (I saw somewhere in the forum that this define should be defined on Linux) but when I build, this revert the change. Does somebody know how to copy the dependency in the project to be able to customize it? I'm new to Unity and I don't know much about the package manager.

FYI, ARCore SDK for Android v1.10 https://github.com/google-ar/arcore-android-sdk/releases does support Linux. There is a linux/arcoreimg binary in arcore-android-sdk-1.10.0/tools/arcoreimg/

@vincentfretin Thanks for the Scripting Define Symbols tip, I just tried it and I can finally run the examples.

com.unity.xr.[email protected]/Tools~/ still has only MacOS Windows. No Linux.

Running into the same issue.
Could we rename this issue into "Linux Support arfoundation-samples" @Stefjs?

I just saw the Linux support was added in [2.2.0-preview.6] - 2019-10-23
https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/[email protected]/changelog/CHANGELOG.html
I didn't test it though, I don't need the feature in my project.
