Unable to complete installation on fresh Ubuntu 16.04 install about kent

Hi Jeremy,

Thank you for your question about installing the kent source on Ubuntu. Are you trying to install a full mirror or just particular utilities? If you are only interested in the individual utilities, you can find pre-compiled binaries here, just select the linux.x86_64 directory and download whichever programs you want:
http://hgdownload.soe.ucsc.edu/admin/exe/

If instead you want all the pre-compiled utils, navigate to the directory on your machine where you want the apps installed and run the following rsync command:
rsync -aP rsync://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/genome/admin/exe/linux.x86_64/ ./

Lastly, if you are instead looking to install a full Genome Browser mirror, we can help you further if you post your message to our public genome-mirror mailing list:
