[Nialld]

Tried following the installation instructions on https://docs.phalcon.io/4.0/en/installation

"curl -s https://packagecloud.io/install/repositories/phalcon/stable/script.deb.sh | sudo bash" this was successful

sudo apt-get update

and received the following error

"The repository 'https://packagecloud.io/phalcon/stable/ubuntu focal Release' does not have a Release file"

For now you can install via pecl or build from sources.

Ubuntu 20 was released a few days ago

I'll prepare packages ASAP.

Ubuntu 20.04 has been out for months now, is there any update on this? Documentation should either be updated, or removed if packages are not released soon.

New installers from Ubuntu 20 might get discouraged from using Phalcon since documentation does not work correctly.

No man, even using PECL (Ubuntu 20.04, Nginx, PHP FPM 7.4), the installation will be failed & stopped.

You're true , it's stopping me from using Phalcon. I'll wait until it's ready for Ubuntu 20.04 😃

@contactjavas Can you open a new issue for the PECL install failure with the error messages so we can investigate it? Thnx

[contactjavas]

Hi @ruudboon , if i remember well, the error message i got _across installations_ (pecl, source, apt-get) using Ubuntu 20.04 + Nginx + PHP FPM 7.4 is the same. #15078

Hey guys, if anyone has a problem installing Phalcon on ubuntu 20.04, then just change

sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/phalcon_stable.list

this is

deb https://packagecloud.io/phalcon/stable/ubuntu/ focal main
deb-src https://packagecloud.io/phalcon/stable/ubuntu/ focal main

on is

deb https://packagecloud.io/phalcon/stable/ubuntu/ bionic main
deb-src https://packagecloud.io/phalcon/stable/ubuntu/ bionic main

and run sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

Please add note to the official documentation that the latest version of Ubuntu cannot be used at this time. I have to start all over now with 18.04 to complete my assignment and I just checked the official doc again, I did not spot any mention that 20.04 would be unsupported and thus had no reason to suspect an issue this lame this far down the installation process. The bionic workaround did NOT work for me on fresh 20.04LTS installation today. Downloading 18.04 and starting over

[slothstronaut]

I can confirm this, also tested it last week and nothing worked on 20.04 except compiling it myself.

Also the v3 branch can no longer be compiled on 20.04 - it has issues.

So if you're using Ubuntu 20.04 your only option is to use 4.0.X and compile it yourself. 18.04 seems to work fine for now though, and is still supported for a few years.
