Any plan to migrate NCSDK2 to Ubuntu 18.04?

Hi!

 

I'm running Ubuntu 17.10 on Intel i5 CPU. I've tried to install NCSDK2 but failed because it

 

seems only compatible with Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. I've no choice but to install NCSDK 1.x.

 

Since Ubuntu 18.04 is now available, I'm wondering whether there is any plan or schedule

 

to migrate NCSDK2 to Ubuntu 18.04?

Some people have reported that installing in 18.04 is possible if you change the checks for the version in install.sh:

 

https://ncsforum.movidius.com/discussion/comment/2348/#Comment_2348

 

That check is at line 32 of install.sh:

 

if [ "${OS_DISTRO,,}" = "ubuntu" ] && [ ${OS_VERSION} = 1604 ]; then [ "${VERBOSE}" = "yes" ] && echo "Installing on Ubuntu 16.04"

 

If you change the 1604 number to 1804 it should proceed with the installation.

In the SDK release notes they say they are currently evaluating 18.04

Thank ALbertoGP. Just need to change the link 32 into 1804. It continues to install ncsdk2. However, the installation will not be successful
