Error on "sudo sift install" on ubuntu #175

Please see the below error I get after following step by step the directions on https://github.com/sans-dfir/sift-cli#instructions. After the last step - Run chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/sift, I run the command sudo sift install and get the following error message. FYI I am trying to install this on a fresh Ubuntu 14.04 VM.

Looks like your apt database was broken prior to attempting to install SIFT. Essentially any apt-get install will fail due to something that happened prior to running the sift installer.

You'll need to fix your apt database before you can install.

I have done this and apt-get seems to be working, however I am still getting the same error. Any tips? What version of Ubuntu works best for this?

ekristen commented 7 years ago

Ubuntu 16.04 is the only supported version.
