There are many different linux distros out there so it is difficult to provide instructions for each. Since Ubuntu is (probably) the most common, most projects will at least provide...

It's also worth mentioning that the Java Jars are produced on a CentOS image: https://github.com/VowpalWabbit/docker-images/blob/master/vowpal_wabbit/centos7_6_1810-build.Dockerfile Build script here: https://github.com/VowpalWabbit/vowpal_wabbit/blob/master/.scripts/linux/build-static-java.sh

Yes, it looks like there is an assumption around the target platform being Linux. It looks like it was introduced with the Spark bindings but is affecting use for the...
