gcc Version is:_gcc (Ubuntu 4.8.4-2ubuntu1~14.04.4) 4.8.4

Is my GCC Version too old?

Is my GCC Version too old?

Yes, GCC with c++17 support is required.
I believe that is GCC 7.0 or higher.

Not a bad idea. Unless you subscribed to ESM (Extended Security Maintenance) that distro has reached end of standard support in april this year. This should affect the amount of updates you get.
