Hello I am trying to install Guacamole 1.5.5 on to my Ubuntu 24.04 VM. I followed the instructions in the online document and managed to install Guacamole server natively by installing all requisite dependencies.
I am encountering an issue with Guacamole client installation. 'mvn package' fails with the following error: [INFO] Reactor Summary for guacamole-client 1.5.5: [INFO] [INFO] guacamole-client ...................................
