Hi @Bo Guo​ I think you need to fix the dependencies. After running

sudo dpkg -i fme-desktop-2021_2021.1.3.1.21635_ubuntu.18.04_amd64.deb

try 

sudo apt-get install -f

Hi Dan!

Tried it without any luck.  Same issues with the following two packages.  

Package libboost-regex1.65.1 is not installed.
Package libtcl8.5 is not installed.

When I tried to install the two packages separately I got 

Package libboost-regex1.65.1 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 'libboost-regex1.65.1' has no installation candidate

I am at a loss, not sure how to install not installable packages...

Hi @Bo Guo​ I should have noticed this before, but you're using the Ubuntu 18.04 installer! For some reason the Ubuntu 20.04 installer isn't listed at https://www.safe.com/support/downloads/#past-versions

You can get it here:

https://downloads.safe.com/fme/2021/fme-desktop-2021_2021.1.3.1.21635~ubuntu.20.04_amd64.deb

Thanks Dan! I thought Safe only had 18.04 and some hacking was required... You saved my day!

Hi @momeniiman​ Update Ubuntu and then try running

sudo apt-get install -f

Thanks for your reply, Dan.

My ubuntu is up-to-date and after running the sudo apt-get install -f nothing changes. The same error
