The page Server Requirements was not up to date, apologies.
I have updated the How To Install or Upgrade Open-AudIT (Linux) page with 20.04.
If you run the installer, it should take care of all dependencies for you.
Installing either mysql-server or mariadb-server is fine.
We install MySQL for Ubuntu < 20.04 and MariaDB for 20.04 and onwards.
We don't install php-mcrypt for Ubuntu 18.04+ (removed as at php 7.x).
libpng12-0 and librrd4 are available from the xenial repository.
We now install php-xml, not simple-xml.
Mark.

I am requesting that the documentation be updated to provide the correct prerequisite packages required for Ubuntu 20.04 LTS.
At first I thought the best list of prerequisites would be in the 'How To Install or Upgrade Open-AudIT (Linux)' page (2019-03-12), but more recent prerequisite information is provided in the 'Server Requirements' page (2020-12-11).
I also noticed that the release notes for OA v3.3.1 mention moving to mariadb-server for Ubuntu 20.04 instead of mysql-server, yet this "apt-get install" line is still using mysql-server instead of mariadb-server. I looked through all the other release notes from v3.3.2 up to v4.0.1, but don't see any mention of switching back to mysql-server. So should this "apt-get install" line be using mariadb-server?
The prerequisites provided by the Server Requirements page for Ubuntu 16.06+ are as follows:
That command attempts to perform the install, but conks out early because packages cannot be found:
Thinking that the problem lies with Ubuntu 20.04, I installed a copy of Ubuntu 18.04 and tried again. Success still eludes me.
CentOS 8 also had issues, but success was achieved with CentOS 7 and Windows Server 2019.
