On deploying smart contract getting this error. Can somebody help?

I got the same error. I am using Ubuntu 22.04 on WSL2. The solution was to install the Linux version of Ganache. Grab the AppImage and run it on WSL2 directly.

[harshit54]

And where did you install Ganache? On Windows or on Linux?

[praveshch23]

Windows

[harshit54]

Then do it on Linux. Use the *.AppImage file and run it.

[praveshch23]

can you please share a video on how to do it🙏
It's only been two days since I started coding

[harshit54]

Read the installation instructions on the website then. I can't help you further.
