qemu-system-x86_64: Display 'sdl' is not available.

See original GitHub issue

I ran the run.sh script but it shows an error. The output is :

*** Checking for firmware files
*** Checking for Base System files
*** Check if dmg2img is available
/usr/bin/dmg2img
*** Check if BaseSystem dmg is downloaded. If downloaded convert to img
*** BaseSystem dmg available.
*** Check if BaseSystem dmg has been converted to img before.
*** BaseSystem img available.
*** Checking for disk image
*** Check if installer has been run
*** Looks like the install hasn't been done yet, lets install
*** Install!
qemu-system-x86_64: Display 'sdl' is not available.

I am a beginner with linux so don’t be too rude.
