Some users are getting an error like:

holochain stderr err > /tmp/.mount_Acorn-S4ke3m/resources/app.asar.unpacked/binaries/holochain-runner: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.1.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

an unhandled error occurred: Error: /tmp/.mount_Acorn-S4ke3m/resources/app.asar.unpacked/binaries/holochain-runner: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.1.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

while launching the app.

I don't know how you could change that in your specific case"

The second command needs to be adapted to: sudo dpkg -i libssl1.1_1.1.1f-1ubuntu2.16_amd64.deb, it's currently broken (not refering to the file you actually get with wget"
