EVE-NG Linux VM SSH troubleshooting

Installing EVE-NG 5
EVE-NG is installed from packages downloaded from the official repository via APT. All the following commands should be executed by the root user via SSH.
First, we add the official repository and the GPG key to verify the packages:
wget -qO - https://www.eve-ng.net/focal/[email protected] | sudo apt-key add -
cat << EOF > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/eve-ng.list
deb [arch=amd64] http://www.eve-ng.net/focal focal main
# deb-src [arch=amd64] http://www.eve-ng.net/focal focal main
EOF
Next, we can reload the repositories, upgrade the system, and install EVE-NG CE along with other packages we will use later:
apt-get update
apt-get -y upgrade
apt-get -y install build-essential dnsmasq eve-ng iptables-persistent libbz2-dev libffi-dev libgdbm-dev libncurses5-dev libnss3-dev libreadline-dev libsqlite3-dev libssl-dev python3-pip zlib1g-dev
