GlobalProtect ARM fails to run

L0 Member

I'm attempting to run my FriendlyElectric Raspberry Pi as a VPN router so I'm running a fresh install of Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS

 

I started off having to install the armhf architecture and core libs

dpkg --add-architecture armhf
apt-get update
apt-get install libc6:armhf libstdc++6:armhf

Then I ran

 

 

root@Rodriguez:~/downloads# sudo apt-get install ./GlobalProtect_deb_arm-5.1.1.0-17.deb

Doesn't look like things installed quite OK, what's it trying to create /root for? That directory already exists

 

Help!
