Hi Sohail, My apologies for the silence over the past couple of days; I took the weekend off.... This is a very quick note to let you know that I will make time to send a detailed, step-by-step McIDAS-X installation email a little later today. One thing I want to say in this email is that since I don't have an Ubuntu 18.04 system to use for testing McIDAS-X installations, I could have problems answering questions that may be solely related to this version of the OS. Please keep an eye out for a follow-up email later today!
