I’m running Ubuntu 21.10 and I can’t manage to install the node both via package manager.  
I’m encountering this error at` sudo apt-get install -y algorand-devtools`

```auto
Preparing to unpack .../algorand_3.2.3_amd64.deb ...
dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/algorand_3.2.3_amd64.deb (--unpack):
 new algorand package pre-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
 /var/cache/apt/archives/algorand_3.2.3_amd64.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

```

I have also another question. If I want to run the indexer to search for transactions/assets I need to download all the blockchain?
