Ubuntu derivitives

I attempted to install on Zorin OS 12, an Ubuntu derivative, but got this:

---

$ anbox-installer
Android in a Box - Installer

IMPORTANT: THIS IS ALPHA LEVEL SOFTWARE. EXPECT INSTABILITY AND
BUGS !!!!!

IMPORTANT: ALSO PLEASE BE AWARE THAT WE DON'T PROVIDE FULL
CONFINEMENT FOR THE SNAP YET !!!!

PLEASE NOTE: This script will require root access on your system
to install all necessary things. It will prompt you to enter your
password when required.

ERROR: You are running the installer on an unsupported distribution.
At the moment we only support the following distributions:

Ubuntu, LinuxMint, neon, elementary

If your distribution is in the list but you still see this message, open
an issue here: https://github.com/anbox/anbox-installer

While Zorin OS is an Ubuntu derivative, based on release 16.04 LTS, it still would not allow me to install, as shown above. Would it have to do with the fact that Zorin is not an official derivative? If there is a solution or work-around, that would be greatly appreciated. I love the concept of this product though and hope to see it continued. Many thanks to those working on it :)

Edit the installer script and remove this check (from "if" to "fi"). Then try.
So we know if it works on Zorin

Would by nice to receive a PR from someone to allow us to get Zorin supported as well.

Thank you so much! I am currently trying it out right now.

You won't be able to modify the script directly in the snap directory as it is read only.
Workaround :
Copy the installer.sh anywhere else, modify the script and than run it (bash installer.sh). Should work.

Works properly in Zorin OS 12 after following the above steps.
