Suricata is not directly install in ubuntu 20.04 by just using command apt-get install suricata

You have to build suricata to run in ubuntu 20.04

Installation steps:
1.) Download the suricata tar file from the official website.
2.) Untar the file using command “tar -xvf <TAR_FILE_NAME>”
3.) Go the extracted directory
4.) Run command “./configure”
5.) Run command “make”
6.) Run command “make install”

That isn’t entirely true. OISF provides official PPAs for Suricata installations on Ubuntu. One can add PPAs and then use the usual installation command to get Suricata as tried by the OP.
ref as mentioned by Peter earlier on the same thread: 3. Installation — Suricata 7.0.1 documentation
