I have installed Ubuntu 20.04 and now I’m trying to install the root. But I’m getting the error repeatedly. I tried vs. 6.14 and 6.16. Please help me to get out of this.
The error:

Hi @NewRootUser,
sorry for the late reply. 6.14 and 6.16 are fairly old ROOT versions, you should probably use 6.20/02.

Your screenshot and copy-paste do not contain the relevant part of the build error so I am not sure what went wrong, but note that you do not have to compile ROOT from source to install it on Ubuntu 20.04! You can directly download and start to use pre-compiled binaries, or you can install ROOT via the conda package manager with just conda create --name cern-root --channel conda-forge root.

You can check all options at https://root.cern/install .
I hope this helps!
