I have a high sierra mac (that for various reasons I won't upgrade) and I was hoping to install the linux version on it, so I could have the latest version installed. I am not so skilled with linux, and I imagine this is not a standard procedure, but nonetheless, I know that I did it once before many years ago on a different machine. But this time i am getting this output:

I have Python 2.7.10. I know there are other dependencies
To run:
xdg-utils, wget, xz-utils
To install:
GLIBC 2.18 or higher and libstdc++.so.6.0.21
but I don't know how to check them or install them.
I assume that if I want to undo the failed install I can just delete the opt/calibre library.
Am I close or am I far??
Any assistance is heartily appreciated. Thanks in advance.
