Nagios XI installation stuck on fresh machine

Hi,
I'm trying to install Nagios XI on a fresh machine with Ubuntu 24 as OS.
Before trying the installation I've made a snapshot of the machine in case there were issues.
Every time I launch the Nagios XI "fullinstall" script, it gets stuck and the last message that it shows refers to some "test" called "t/07-zonefile.t "
I'm attaching the install.log file.
Does anyone know what could be happening?

You might try installing Test::Pod manually.

Is that a perl package/module?
How could I install it?

Try this:
sudo apt-get -y install libtest-pod-perl

Is the Ubuntu 24 a LTS version? (i.e is it 24.04?)

I have tried leaving the installation process running overnight without success. It stays at the same step.
It's strange because if I launch the installation process on a Linux distribution like RHEL, this doesn't happen.
I have been looking at Nagios XI installation documentation and I see that there are options to do it offline but it seems that it is not available for Ubuntu. Is this correct?

Hi @IT_LAS,
That is correct. The offline installs use RPMs which are specific to Enterprise Linux distributions. If you need to install on Ubuntu 24, you will have to use a source install. Let us know if you still run into issues.
Thank you!

Hi @gwesterman
Is there any documentation for the source installation process for Ubuntu 24?

@IT_LAS
For a source install follow the documentation below under the manual section. Let us know if you run into an issue with the source install and we can try to debug.
