Installation on Ubuntu 22.04 requires an additional debian package of libssl1.1

Following the installation instruction on the website and run synth directly.

1. Installation

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSL https://getsynth.com/install | sh

2. Error while running the command.

$ synth                                                              
synth: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.1.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

It can be resolved by installing the debian package of libssl1.1 manually because Ubuntu 22.04 only has libssl3 in its repository.

$ wget http://nz2.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/o/openssl/libssl1.1_1.1.1l-1ubuntu1.6_amd64.deb
$ sudo dpkg -i libssl1.1_1.1.1l-1ubuntu1.6_amd64.deb 

Then it works without issue.

$ synth
