EMA is not supported on Ubuntu. Please find supported OS from API Compatibility Matrix
Thanks for your feedback @moragodkrit . we know it is an unsupported Linux, the question is more if anybody has some experience with it / has done some develeopment, despite being unsupported.
I would like to be able to build this on Ubuntu.
Unbuntu is incredibly common. I'm amazed this isn't supported, especially as Reuters is making Elekton easily accessible via the developer community.
