Issue Product prep-install for BASE failed

Mike99

Basic Pleskian
Hi,

I am running a fresh install

sh <(curl https://autoinstall.plesk.com/plesk-installer || wget -O - https://autoinstall.plesk.com/plesk-installer)

on Ubuntu 20.04 Server Minimal

Installation got stuck on

Failed to enable unit: Refusing to operate on alias name or linked unit file: mysql.service

Then I tried to run the install script again with sh <(curl https://autoinstall.plesk.com/plesk-installer || wget -O - https://autoinstall.plesk.com/plesk-installer), but I get following error:

**** Product prep-install for BASE failed.

Any idea how to finish the installation?

I am unable to find any documentation on how to remove plesk installation and try again.

Plesk installer is not installed yet, so plesk installer --remove-everything is not working.
