Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/hoppscotch/hoppscotch/issues/4683

Is there an existing issue for this?

I have searched the existing issues

Current behavior

When i downloaded and tried to install Hoppscotch_linux_x64.deb on

Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
Release: 24.04
Codename: noble

I got this error :
Package libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

I tried to install the lib but got this error in ubuntu :

E: Package 'libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37' has no installation candidate

Thanks

Steps to reproduce

download the .deb file
try to install it on ubuntu 24.04

Environment

Deploy preview

Version

Local

I see this too on Ubuntu 24.04:
