Hi, I just started with a fresh installed ubuntu 20.04 to install the ERPNext with easy install script, unfortunately we cannot proceed after the first step, the error and commands we run are as bellow:
Any help and clue?
This was an issue I ran into recently. The Easy Install script does not currently support Ubuntu 20.04

Issue: Feature Request
I had some fun attempting to do a production installat… ion of bench on a fresh Ubuntu 20.04 LTS with Python 3.8 this morning. Yes, Ubuntu 20.04 is still [very VERY new](https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-announce/2020-April/000256.html).
#### To reproduce
As stated in Bench README:
```bash
apt install python3-minimal build-essential python3-setuptools
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/frappe/bench/develop/install.py
python3 install.py --production
```
### `platform.dist()` removed in Python 3.8
Python 3.8 removed finally removed the deprecated `platform.dist()` method. This has been [deprecated since Python 2.6](https://docs.python.org/2/library/platform.html#platform.dist). Although changing `install.py:100` to
`current_dist = ('Ubuntu', '20.04', 'focal')`
easily fixed that issue. I grabbed that running `platform.dist()` in a Python 2 console.
### `libssl1.0-dev` unavailable in Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
The easy install script kept going for some time until it reached this:

`libssl1.0-dev` looks to be unavailable on Ubuntu 20.04 APT repos.

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package libssl1.0-dev is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package 'libssl1.0-dev' has no installation candidate
```
I am currently looking to see if `libssl1.0-dev` is supposed to be included into Focal repositories at a later date.
Are there plans to support Ubuntu 20 LTS? If so, when would this be possible?

Issue: Easy Install
**Distro Information (Required)**
Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
… And for all new distros in future
**Possible Solution**
To replace **Replace platform.dist() with distro.linux_distribution in install.py**
Use this module https://github.com/nir0s/distro for getting distro/system verion information.
I will try to cook something myself. But I am not a professional programmer. So if anybody can work on this request.
However, others have been using this: (UPDATED)

It works perfectly… Just follow the instructions!
You’ll find a more recent forum topic for new discussions here: An alternative installer for Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
I was forced to open it because I was locked out of the previous one that you refer to.
