The package was built on Ubuntu 14.04 and is incompatible with newer Ubuntu versions. Please build Prax from source.

Thanks compiling fixed this.

Ran into this today. 14.04 is EOL. Any plans to support 16.04, 18.04, and/or 20.04?

it works fine in 16.04 and 18.04. You need to build from source though. The wiki is pretty detailed on how to install from source. For 20 I haven't looked so i couldnt say but i cant see why it wouldnt work.

Just remember you need crystal installed before you can compile.

Thanks for the quick response! And my apologies, my question wasn't very clear. I meant to ask if there were any plans to release .debs for currently-supported Ubuntu LTS versions.

This I can't answer sorry but im sure if we pulled together to create one, Yasbaddaden could then upload to the necessary locations.

@botandrose It does look like the makefile is able to create a deb package for you to then install that way. but i've not tested it yet.
