 sudo apt-get update
 sudo apt-get install libseccomp2
-sudo apt-get install libapparmor
 ```
 Note that:
 1) If you are using Ubuntu <=Trusty or Debian <=jessie, a backported version of `libseccomp2` is needed. (See the [trusty-backports](https://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty-backports/libseccomp2) and [jessie-backports](https://packages.debian.org/jessie-backports/libseccomp2)).
