Ubuntu 20.04 LTS How to install HP Deskjet 3633 using hplip-3.20.9.run

I am running hplip-3.20.9.run i Terminal and it requests adding dependencies. It tries to add the dependencies but ends up stating to manually add them. Is there a way to automatically add them in one command?

I run "sh hplip-3.20.9.run"
It tries to automatically install
.....
INSTALL MISSING REQUIRED DEPENDENCIES
-------------------------------------
note: Installation of dependencies requires an active internet connection.
warning: Missing REQUIRED dependency: pyqt5 (PyQt 5- Qt interface for Python (for Qt version 4.x))
warning: Missing REQUIRED dependency: python-dbus (Python DBus - Python bindings for DBus)
warning: Missing REQUIRED dependency: libavahi-dev (libavahi-dev)
.....

Thanks for your help,
Bob

Code:

apt install -y pyqt5 python-dbus libavahi-dev

I have not checked if these packages exist for Ubuntu 20, except for python-dbus.

Of course, you could also execute that command manually prior to installing the printer software.

I don't know why the script fails to perform that installation. Are you executing it as root? You need to be root to install software. Or are your Ubuntu repos configured correctly? Or does that computer have internet access?
