error: dfx: /lib/x86\_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6: version `GLIBC\_2.29’ not found (required by dfx)

what I did

1. sh -ci “$(curl -fsSL [https://sdk.dfinity.org/install.sh](https://sdk.dfinity.org/install.sh))”

which default to 0.6.26

[then realized motoko school recommend 0.7.0](https://motoko-school.medium.com/set-up-your-development-environment-on-windows-5a5590fab726)

1. DFX\_VERSION=0.7.0 sh -ci “$(curl -fsSL [https://sdk.dfinity.org/install.sh](https://sdk.dfinity.org/install.sh))”

now I can’t dfx

I’ve seen other Debian setups with the same issue, the best Linux flavour to use for the latest dfx version is Ubuntu 20.04 or higher.

Yes, Same issue with me.

But if you create a new project dfx new project it works well.

Are you facing the same issue ?
