Any Idea how to install KeyHelp on ubuntu 16?

I am tryng the following, but with no result

wget –no-check-certificate https://install.keyhelp.de/get_keyhelp.php -O install_keyhelp.sh ; bash install_keyhelp.sh ;
wget https://install.keyhelp.de/get_keyhelp.php -O –no-check-certificate install_keyhelp.sh ; bash install_keyhelp.sh ;

I'm running out of options, anyone had the same issue?

I even tried to instal the CA package of course (apt-get install ca-certificates) with no result

Why don't you just upgrade to a current version of Ubuntu (or even better the original) before?

KH needs a fresh installation else you will have a lot of manual work.

Customer need ubuntu 16

Running the commandwget without -O will download the file install_keyhelp.sh

But ./install_keyhelp.sh give me
root@borgolab:~# ./install_keyhelp.sh
-bash: ./install_keyhelp.sh: Permission denied

The installer does not support outdated OS anyway.
The installation will not start.

Ok, at the end seems that the installation script that we can download with the installer is the last version only and not downloading the suitable one

KeyHelp itself relies on actual software components which were not available in earlier Versions.

This is not an issue, this is a feature!

I do not see the reason to question customer need, we discuss it already with him and he did not accept a new OS version, so the need is Ubuntu 16, full stop.
Is your habit to questioning with your customers? Mine will simply move to a different supplier if after discussion I will insist to bug them...

An outdated system is a security risk, full stop.

OK, then KH is no option. Full stop.

And, yes, most of my customers have little knowledge of technology, so I ask when they have silly wishes, most of the time the is a better solution.

If they doesn't want to pay the framework update I can not force them, not all customers accept a budget modification, unfortunately

Which framework update?

You did not say why the customer needs old Ubuntu.
Just that he wants to have it.

If you could give reasons one could argue about.

E.g. Hardware X is only certified with that specific Ubuntu. Then one could think about a solution.
