I trying to install Licode from source by following this [official website](http://licode.readthedocs.io/en/stable/from_source). But it dosn’ t run. After some tweaks i’m able to install but couldn’t run on Ubuntu 18.04. It gives following errror.

```

Ubuntu 14.04 is officially supported and with a little customization it also works well on 16.04. I’ve not tested 18.04.

Thanks,  
I tried with both version, with little tweak I’s able to compile on 16, but couldn’t do it on 18.
