\"Ubuntu<\/a><\/div>\n

If you’re ever faced with this warning, which usually happens on a fresh Ubuntu installation:<\/p>\n

perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
\nperl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
\nLANGUAGE = “en_US:en”,
\nLC_ALL = (unset),
\nLC_MESSAGES = “en_US.UTF-8”,
\nLANG = “en_US.UTF-8”
\nare supported and installed on your system.<\/p>\n

<\/a>
\nperl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale (“C”).
\nlocale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory
\nlocale: Cannot set LC_MESSAGES to default locale: No such file or directory
\nlocale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory<\/p>\n

You can fix it easily by doing the following:<\/p>\n

locale-gen \"en_US.UTF-8\"<\/pre>\n
And then run:<\/p>\n
dpkg-reconfigure locales<\/pre>\n
Locales are a framework to switch between multiple languages and allow users to use their language, characters and collation orders.<\/p>\n
