Description

In Comprehensive Installation > Before Installing > Prerequisites , install command for ubuntu 16, 18, 20 ,22 and 24 is wrong.
On ubuntu we use python3-dev instead of python-dev. Please fix command line for Ubuntu.

wrong command

sudo apt install python-dev bzip2 xz-utils zlib1g libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev libpopt0

• Someone may look command for Ubuntu but not see it.
• because python-dev is missing, this generates some error.

sudo apt install python3-dev bzip2 xz-utils zlib1g libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev libpopt0

• please use python3-dev for python3
• Just copy and paste it, run
