If it is urgent you can try using the terminal
Installing Forticlient on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
Install gpg key
wget -O - | sudo apt-key add -
Add the following line in /etc/apt/sources.list
deb [arch=amd64] /bionic multiverse
Update package lists
sudo apt-get update
Install FortiClient
sudo apt install forticlient
I use the stand-alone forticlient package downloaded from the FortiNet support website, rather than the public repos. The client is in a zip package, and has no weird Ubuntu dependencies, so you just place it somewhere that makes sense, and run the script, eg:
sudo /usr/local/src/forticlientsslvpn/fortisslvpn.shUnfortunately you do require a valid login to download the files for Linux, but if you own FortiGate hardware, or know someone who does, then you can get it. Go to Download, Firmware Images (not very intuitive option!) and select product = FortiClient, and then click the download tab. The various OS options are listed.
To work properly the script requires root privileges... and it tries to detect 32-bit vs 64-bit architecture, before running the required sub-script.
Otherwise, as mentioned in the first answer, use the FortiNet repos directly.
