Previously, I posted a procedure for installing DSV 2019 on Linux Mint 19.1 or Ubuntu 18.04:

When I tried this with DSV 2020 and Linux Mint 19.3 Xfce, there was an error at the final step of launching the program. It could not locate "libpng15.so.15". There could be several ways to deal with this. In my case, I happened to have another installed program that included this shared library. I copied it to the BIOVIA/DiscoveryStudio/lib directory, and then DSV 2020 launched with no further issues.

I hope that this tip might be useful to others who are interested in installing DSV 2020 on an Ubuntu-based system. It would also be of interest to see how others have solved this problem.
