Hey - it is possible to get 1.18.5.x download so I can install manually.

Thanks again! It’s running now! Exciting!

I have a followup question. Is the new installation summary too verbose? It tends to go against Linux tradition of being terse.

For me, I like the new installations verbosity especially on a new installation. There are enough variables with Plex, the verbosity will help neophytes and even experts will want to see what is going on.
