Attempting to install Picoscope 6 on Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS

Post by dcovarru »

Hi all,

I'm looking to install drivers for my picoscope 4424A on my WSL machine that uses Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS. I understand that this isn't strictly supported, but i want to make sure that the version is really the root cause of my problem: when I try to run using the Ubuntu Instructions (https://www.picotech.com/downloads/linux), i get the following error message:

Code: Select all

$ sudo apt-get install picoscopeReading package lists... Done
