unable to install labview on Linux mint 20.3

In theory, this OS should be supported as, when I looked it up, it's based on ubuntu 20.04, but upon running the install script I get a message saying it isn't.

 

I'm using the Community edition as a YouTuber who goes by Proper Printing used it to control a 3d printer running Marlin directly. I was hoping to write my own to control a printer through Octoprint or even one running Klipper.

you have to grab all .deb packages from the iso, place them into a single folder and run sudo dpkg -i *.deb. I recommend running it twice since there is a specific order to install that the install file has. Running the sudo command twice worked for me in 20.3 and 21. Loading the drivers is another story and I have not found a robust way of getting them installed just yet. Kernel version and the niKAL file seem to have issues when installing the Linux drivers.

Helpful. Thanks! The way I got it to work was moving all .deb files into a new folder called "LabView". Then I opened the terminal and navigated to the folder using CD (file path) and using the command pkg -i *.deb. Running it twice did the trick! Thanks again! (Im a beginner on Linux Mint).
