Snipe-it: Cannot install on Ubuntu v18.04

[pduxbury]

Hi,

Trying to install on Ubuntu v18.04 but get 'Unsupported Ubuntu version.
Online document states v14 and greater so not sure why i would get this error.

Thanks,
Paul

I'm running Snipe-IT v4.3 on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS since 2 May 2018 then upgraded to v4.4.1 on 21 May 2018 till now, seems ok.

used the following and got the above:

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/snipe/snipe-it/master/install.sh
chmod 744 install.sh
./install.sh

I also tried to install using the command below:

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/snipe/snipe-it/master/install.sh
chmod 744 install.sh
./install.sh

After I enter a new password on the password option, I get the same prompt, "Unsupported Ubuntu Version. Version found: 18.04"

I also tried using the auto-generated password option and arrived at the same error prompt.

I see. I'm using this instruction as recommended by the owner. Installing via github is recommend and future version upgrade is easier.

even when using the github to clone. you then run the install.sh and get the exact same error

[pduxbury]

appears in the :snipeit.sh script it doesnt have anything for ubuntu 18.04

i see, this question might goes to the owner as i was using github to clone but not run with install.sh.

I have the same problem, decided to use centos 7 because it worked

Ill get snipeit.sh updated for 18.04.

Once #5687 is merged and makes its way to master 18.04 will be supported.

I get a similar error message on ubuntu 18.04

I too get the same error on a completely clean AWS EC2 Ubuntu instance:

EDIT: I've fixed the issue myself. Went to line 425 on the installation script (snipeit one), then changed -ge to ==
