ubuntu 18.04 security onion the repository does not have a release file

[dougburks]

Security Onion 16.04 is only compatible with Ubuntu 16.04. If you want to run Ubuntu 18.04, then you'll want Security Onion 2:
https://github.com/Security-Onion-Solutions/securityonion

this is what I used

git clone https://github.com/Security-Onion-Solutions/securityonion
cd securityonion
sudo bash so-setup-network

that is under the heading ubuntu 18.04

Again, this github repo is for Security Onion 16.04 which is only compatible with Ubuntu 16.04. If you want to run Ubuntu 18.04, then you'll want Security Onion 2 which is a totally separate repo:

what am I missing

Installation on Ubuntu or CentOS
If you want to install Security Onion on CentOS 7 or Ubuntu 18.04 (not using our Security Onion ISO image), follow these steps:

Review the Hardware Requirements section.

Download the ISO image for your preferred flavor of Ubuntu 18.04 64-bit or CentOS 7 64-bit, verify the ISO image, and boot from it.

Follow the prompts in the installer. If you’re building a production deployment, you’ll probably want to use LVM and dedicate most of your disk space to /nsm as discussed in the Partitioning section.

Reboot into your new installation.

Login using the username and password you specified during installation.

If using CentOS 7 Minimal, install git:

sudo yum -y install git
Once you have git, then do the following:

git clone https://github.com/Security-Onion-Solutions/securityonion
cd securityonion
sudo bash so-setup-network
Proceed to the Configuration section.
