Hello Julia,

I have tried installing Julia on my Ubuntu 20.04 LTS but could not install it.  
Your help is much appreciated.

```bash
sudo yum -y install xclip && sudo yum -y install libXScrnSaver
chmod 777 JuliaPro-1.5.4-1_build-152.sh
sudo ./JuliaPro-1.5.4-1_build-152.sh /usr/bin/julia/
Do you want to configure your JuliaPro to work with your private JuliaTeam package server? [Yes/No(default)]

JuliaPro installation has started, please wait until all the files are extracted

Installing JuliaPro-1.5.4-1 to 
mkdir: cannot create directory ‘’: No such file or directory
tar: : Cannot open: No such file or directory
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
/tmp/self-extract-bash.YYcPP0/install_juliapro.sh: line 38: cd: /JuliaPro-1.5.4-1/Scripts: No such file or directory

```

Is there a reason why any you need to use Julia Pro? The latest stable release tends to be the better option for the vast majority of users.

IMHO: it is not a valid Ubuntu 20.04 LTS command. ( Maybe “CentOS 7” ? )

- You should find an `apt-get -y install` lines

like [“2.1.2 Prerequisites for Installation on Ubuntu”(PDF)](https://juliacomputing.com/docs/JuliaProQuickStartGuideLinux_1.5.4-1.pdf)

```julia
sudo apt-get -y install xclip
sudo apt-get -y install libgconf-2-4

```
