I tried an Ubuntu 24 installation on WLS2. [1]
Here are the issues I ran into:
-
E: Unable to locate package libltdl7-dev- The package seems to be renamed in that version.
libltdl7-dev→libltdl-dev - Related script: discourse_docker/image/base/install-imagemagick at main · discourse/discourse_docker · GitHub
- The package seems to be renamed in that version.
-
Your Ruby version is 3.2.1, but your Gemfile specified ~> 3.3
With the ruby version bump to > 3.3 recently, the script needs an update as well: install-rails/linux at main · discourse/install-rails · GitHub- What I did:
rbenv install 3.3.7
rbenv global 3.3.7
rbenv rehash
- What I did:
-
ERROR Unsupported engine for /home/arkshine/discourse: wanted: {"pnpm":"^9"} (current: {"node":"v18.20.6","pnpm":"10.5.2"})sudois needed:sudo pnpm install[2]
-
ERROR Failed to switch pnpm to v9.15.5. Looks like pnpm CLI is missing at "~/.local/share/pnpm/.tools/pnpm/9.15.5/bin" or is incorrect- When running
pnpm install. I was able to fix with:npm install -g corepack@latestcorepack use pnpm@latest-9
- When running
As non-root, the lack of sudo in the code makes it impossible to run at the end. I don’t know if there is a smart way, but I did not find it. I did not have these issues with Ubuntu 22.
As root, I was able to make it work.
As a side note, there is Developing Discourse using a Dev Container as an alternative.
