Which version of Ubuntu are you using? And which exact .deb file did you download?

Thank you for reply. Ubuntu 17.10. and panda3d1.9_1.9.4~precise_amd64.deb
Codename: artful

That .deb file is for Ubuntu “Precise” 12.04, so that will definitely not work. You will want a more recent .deb file than that.

I’m not sure if the “zesty” .deb will work. We don’t provide a .deb for Ubuntu Artful of Panda3D 1.9.4, but you can get a development build from here:
https://www.panda3d.org/download.php?platform=artful&version=devel&sdk

Alternatively, it may be simpler to install Panda3D via the pip package manager. (You can only do one or the other; otherwise they will conflict!) To do this, just type this command:

sudo pip install panda3d

Thank you. I installed it with pip. Is there any differences? I lose something?

When you install via pip, you can’t develop Panda3D programs using C++. It is meant for Python users only.

Also, the PStats performance monitoring tool is not included with the Linux pip installation.

Ok. I understand. thank you
