I run Hercules 4 on my Windows system just fine, from VM/370 CE

Just as it should be.
I just don't know if I can run Hercules 4 on Ubuntu,
You can. I have Ubuntu installed in a VMware virtual machine (Kubuntu 21.10) and it runs Herc 4.5 (the upcoming new version of SDL Hyperion Hercules) just fine. The current official 4.4.1 release version should run just fine as well.
I can't find it.
It doesn't come pre-distributed with any of the existing Linuxes that I am aware of, so you need to clone the repository and build it yourself instead. Don't worry! It's actually pretty easy (especially if you use Bill's Hercules Helper script):
The repository is here:
*
Instructions for MANUALLY building it are here:
*
For easy AUTOMATED building, I recommend using Bill Lewis's (a fellow Hercules developer) excellent "Hercules Helper" script, which can be found here:
* Linux:
Simply clone Bill's repository and run his buildall script:
$ hyperion-buildall.sh --auto
Refer to the above URLs for complete instructions. (You may have to scroll down the page a little bit to reach the instructions. The above two URLs are for his repository which you need to git clone.)
If you have any problem with Bill's helper script, contact Bill.
If you have any problems with the official manual build method, contact the Hercules development team.
Good luck!
