Users GameDungeon and Canapin discuss issues with the Discourse development installation script on Ubuntu 22.04.1, specifically failing due to an outdated dependency (libwebp6 instead of libwebp7) and potentially installing an unsupported Ruby version. GameDungeon suggests updating the script for compatibility, noting existing unmerged pull requests that fix these issues like this one and this one. Canapin confirms the problem and informs the dev team, who later sam acknowledges and merges both PRs. sam also adds the pr-welcome tag, encouraging community contributions to improve documentation. GameDungeon clarifies that the issue isn’t lack of PRs, but lack of merging — now resolved. No further issues remain as of sam.
In the install guide It tells you to run:
bash <(wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/discourse/install-rails/master/linux)
On Ubuntu 22.04.1 the install fails with:
E: Unable to locate package libwebp6
The solution is to change it to libwebp7 in the script, but it is annoying to download and edit the two scripts. Could Ubuntu 22.04.1 be supported in the script?
I think it will be updated, thanks for mentioning that.
I encountered a similar issue a few months ago and fixed the script for my own purpose.
The installation script was later fixed by Discourse.
Also as far as I can tell, it’s installing an unsupported version of ruby? It says it discourse needs a ruby version of 3.1 or higher.
I moved this from Install Discourse on Ubuntu or Debian for Development - #582 so the replies won’t automatically disappear after a month.
If you’re willing to, you can still do a pull request. They’ll review it before merging to see if that doesn’t break anything.
Ok, I might take a little time and do that. Hmm, there seems to be some requests already open, just not merged.
Some of those pull requests have been open for nearly a year and would fix my problems. Is there anything that can be done to call attention to them?
I’ll ask the dev team tomorrow 
, time to go to bed for me 
Hi @GameDungeon, sorry for the delay.
I sent the information to the related team and it will be taken care of
One important one got merged. One of these two also would need to be merged and it would be working in my pov. These both do the exact same thing:
https://github.com/discourse/install-rails/pull/31/files
https://github.com/discourse/install-rails/pull/34/files
Can confirm this as I tried it myself. I informed the developers 
I put a pr-welcome here on improving our documentation, help from the community is welcome.
I will note, that in this case, the PRs exist, they just are not being merged.
Thanks … merged both of the PRs, anything else left here?
