When I try installing Longview on Ubuntu 21.04 with the curl command, I get the following message:

This is a workaround to install Longview on Ubuntu 21.04 using this guide. I was able to test this and can confirm that the Longview client for Ubuntu 20.04 does work on Ubuntu 21.04.
In this guide, /etc/apt/sources.list.d/longview.list defines the repository that Longview will be installed from. So instead of having deb http://apt-longview.linode.com/hirsute main listed in that file, which would install the Longview client for Ubuntu 21.04, you can change it to deb http://apt-longview.linode.com/focal main to tell apt to install Longview for Ubuntu 20.04 on your Ubuntu 21.04 system.
After you have made this change, you can go ahead and follow the rest of the guide to install Longview.
