The binary release of Hermes for Linux is built on Ubuntu 20.04 and links with glibc 2.29, which is more recent than the version of glibc that ships with Ubuntu 18.04, hence the error.

You should be able to build Hermes yourself on Ubuntu 18.04 by following the instructions in the guide: https://hermes.informal.systems/installation.html#install-via-cargo

This requires an installation of the Rust toolchain, for which you can find instructions at https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install

Alternatively, you can try updating glibc to >=2.29, but I cannot provide instructions for doing so.
