I am trying to run an app and I am getting this error in a fresh installation of Ubuntu in VMWARE

./futurerestore_linux: error while loading shared libraries: libzip.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I had an similar error earlier today and looks like I had to create a link.

However I do see libzip.so.2 in /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu when I did dir in this directory, so unsure what I need to do to get this working. Interesting part is, I don't see it as a package

First try running ldconfig command to recreate links e and libraries cache. As you said that file already exists may you need only a refresh.

$ sudo ldconfig
$ ./futurerestore_linux ...

If this not work you could use ldd command to list all shared libraries of this program.

$ ldd futurerestore_linux

check where libzip.so.2 appears, note also the common path for others libraries. In my case was something like:

libzip.so.2 => not found
libssl.so.1.0.0 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libssl.so.1.0.0 (0x00007fbaf8313000) ...

So I tried find libzip.so.4 with

$ ls -la /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libzip*.*

there was libzip.so.4 and libzip.so but no signal of version 2. so I tried creating a link and its worked.

$ sudo ln -s libzip.so /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libzip.so.2
$ sudo ldconfig

You have to install libzip.

Maybe try the command:

sudo apt install libzip4

Also I had to install libcurl to get the program to work.

sudo apt install libcurl3
