Pihole wont install on Ubuntu server 18.04

Please follow the below template, it will help us to help you!

Expected Behaviour:

Pihole installer window should pop up so I can install the product.

Actual Behaviour:

The installer runs system checks flashes pink then goes back to prompt.

Debug Token:

[Replace this text with the debug token provided from running pihole -d (or running the debug script through the web interface]

Is this on Ubuntu 18.04.01 by chance?

Yes it is Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS

There is a known issue with this OS and its apt repositories not containing dialog or dhcp5 I believe a user in this thread managed to find a solution.
