Hello,

What are the prerequisites for the linux installation to succesfully run Teams. I've installed Teams on Ubuntu 16.04 But got an error when starting the application.

NodeJs is version 8.17 and npm 6.13.4 and electron is installed.

Errormessage is attached to the post..

Thanks.
Michel

    @Michel C looking at logs, it seems like it was installed properly. But unfortunately it looks like you hit one bug. We have it already fixed in a code base and should be working fine for you as soon as we update to new version

    On Linux, package managers such as apt and yum will try to install any requirements for you. However, if they don't then you will need to install any reported requirements before installing Teams on Linux.
    According to your description, I recommend you reinstall the Teams client and have a try.
