parity installation failed on ubuntu 16

[pavsh]

hi,
I'm running this command to install parity on ubuntu 16

bash <(curl https://get.parity.io -Lk) -r stable

and i getting the following error:

openssl is needed by parity-1:1.8.9-1.x86_64

I do have openssl installed version : 1.0.2g
thank you for your help

I've a similar issue with Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. libssl1.1 is required as from Parity 1.8.8, apparently.

I had picked Ubuntu 16.04 cause of the LTS, which I think makes sense when running a production server.

What Parity recommends as the preferred LTS or enterprise level distro in order to guarantee long time compatibility with future releases?

@ddorgan can you check why the script is pulling the RPM on ubuntu? thanks

[5chdn]

@wnz99 download the linux *.deb it links ssl 1.0

the debian *.deb links ssl 1.1

[wnz99]

Done, thank you.

I'm still getting errors on 16.04.3

bash <(curl https://get.parity.io -Lk) -r beta
parity: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.1.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

AND

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of parity:
 parity depends on libssl1.1 (>= 1.1.0); however:
  Package libssl1.1 is not installed.

So I was able to work around it by first installing libssl via this:

wget http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/main/o/openssl/libssl1.1_1.1.0g-2ubuntu2_amd64.deb
dpkg -i libssl1.1_1.1.0g-2ubuntu2_amd64.deb

That lead to this error:

/usr/bin/parity: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.22' not found (required by /usr/bin/parity)

I corrected that via this script on Stack Overflow:

apt-get update && apt-get install sudo && \
sudo apt-get install build-essential software-properties-common -y && \
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test -y && \
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:george-edison55/cmake-3.x -y && \
sudo apt-get update && \
sudo apt-get install gcc-snapshot -y && \
sudo apt-get update && \
sudo apt-get install gcc-6 g++-6 -y && \
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gcc gcc /usr/bin/gcc-6 60 --slave /usr/bin/g++ g++ /usr/bin/g++-6 && \
sudo apt-get install gcc-4.8 g++-4.8 -y && \
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gcc gcc /usr/bin/gcc-4.8 40 --slave /usr/bin/g++ g++ /usr/bin/g++-4.8 && \
sudo update-alternatives --config gcc && \
sudo apt-get update && \
sudo apt-get install cmake -y;

Parity started working after that...

I'm not entirely sure which part of that script fixed the issue as it does quite a few things but I'm hoping this will help diagnose or provide others with a workaround.
