Ansys Electromagnetics Suite Installation Error on Ubuntu 20.04

[harden131]

Hi,
I am trying to install Ansys EM on Ubuntu 20.04. I installed all necessecary libraries listed in installation guide.
Initially, I encountered the error

"Error /opt/AnysEM is not writeable" during the installation process. To resolve this, I granted permissions to the installation directory using the command: "sudo chown $USER:$USER /opt/ansysEm".

After I installed and try to run it in folder /opt/AnsysEM/v221/Linux64 with ./ansysedt command i get this error :

"/opt/AnsysEM/v221/Linux64/ansysedt.exe: symbol lookup error: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libXrender.so.1: undefined symbol: _XGetRequest".

If I try run it with sudo ./ansysedt I get this error : "

*** Error: This operating system is not supported.

Currently-supported Linux versions include:
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 64-bit: Versions 7 & 8
- SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 64-bit: Versions 12 & 15

"
P.S. My ANS_IGNOREOS variable is set to 1.

I would greatly appreciate any insights or suggestions on how to overcome these issues and successfully run Ansys Electromagnetics Suite on Ubuntu 20.04.
Thank you in advance.

The message is clear. Ansys EM does not support Ubuntu.
You have to install one of those OS.

I don't use your configuration, but have you checked google with that error message?
It seems that someone was able to solve this (old thread from 2020, might be different versions now):
