To install Pulse Secure for Ubuntu 20.04, it is a bit complicated since the support isn't great.
First, we'll want to install the deb file at http://go.pulsesecure.net/j5iN083NS00iv05qEfk0500. Once that is in your Downloads folder, you can run:
$ cd ~/Downloads
$ sudo dpkg -i ps-pulse-linux-9.1r4.0-b143-ubuntu-debian-64-bit-installer.debNow, we'll want to go into the pulse directory and install dependencies. We update the shell script file first to support Ubuntu 20.
$ cd /usr/local/pulse/
$ sudo sed -i "s/UBUNTU_VER\ \=\ 18\ \]/& \|\|\ [\ \$UBUNTU_VER\ \=\ 20 \]/" PulseClient_x86_64.sh
$ ./PulseClient_x86_64.sh install_dependency_packagesNext, we'll want to create an extras and debs folder inside the pulse folder.
$ mkdir /usr/local/pulse/extra
$ mkdir /usr/local/pulse/debs Then we'll want to download the following debs into /usr/local/pulse/debs/:
$ cd /usr/local/pulse/debs
$ sudo wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/i/icu/libicu60_60.2-3ubuntu3_amd64.deb
$ sudo wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/w/webkitgtk/libjavascriptcoregtk-1.0-0_2.4.11-3ubuntu3_amd64.deb
$ sudo wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/w/webkitgtk/libwebkitgtk-1.0-0_2.4.11-3ubuntu3_amd64.debNext we will extract the debs into the extras folder:
$ cd /usr/local/pulse/extra
$ sudo dpkg -x /usr/local/pulse/debs/libicu60_60.2-3ubuntu3_amd64.deb .
$ sudo dpkg -x /usr/local/pulse/debs/libjavascriptcoregtk-1.0-0_2.4.11-3ubuntu3_amd64.deb .
$ sudo dpkg -x /usr/local/pulse/debs/libwebkitgtk-1.0-0_2.4.11-3ubuntu3_amd64.deb .Then we'll want to add the library path to our shell startup file and for convience, we can alias the pulse secure command in your shell startup file with the following:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/pulse/extra/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/
alias vpn=/usr/local/pulse/pulseUiLastly, we just want to make sure to source that same shell startup file so the changes are loaded. We can then startup the client using:
$ vpn
