Unable to locate package libsystemd-dev during installation ScyllaDB on ubuntu 14

During installation Scylla from https://github.com/scylladb/scylla on ubuntu 14 during sudo ./install-dependencies.sh I get E: Unable to locate package libsystemd-dev. I tried to sudo apt-get install libsystemd-daemon-dev and many other methods but nothing works. Any ideas how can I solve this?

There is a bug in install-dependencies.sh script that causes this error. The problem, as rightly mentioned in the comments to your post, is that Ubuntu 14.0 lacks the libsystemd-dev package: https://github.com/scylladb/scylla/issues/3515

This is not the only issue though as latest ScyllaDB code requires GCC 7.3 to be built and install-dependencies.sh enforces it. It is possible to install the tools for building Scylla from ScyllaDB PPA: https://launchpad.net/~scylladb/+archive/ubuntu/ppa

Note that you'll need to pass information about the location of those tools manually to the configure.py script. Unfortunately, today install-dependencies.sh doesn't do this all for Ubuntu: https://github.com/scylladb/scylla/issues/3379

As an alternative, you can try using the packaging script from Scylla. It is well explained here: https://github.com/scylladb/scylla/wiki/Building-.deb-package-for-Ubuntu-Debian
