(This is the guide modified, it worked for me)
How to install Akeneo PIM for testing/dev inUbuntu 20.04 LTS (my way)

Change localhost name (optional):

sudo nano /etc/hosts
    (add this or modify)
    127.0.0.1   localhost
    127.0.0.1   akeneo-pim.local

Install apache2 and modules:

sudo apt install apache2 curl aspell php-apcu-bc php-pear php-apcu php7.4-fpm php7.4 libapache2-mod-php7.4 php7.4-cli php7.4-common php7.4-xml php7.4-mysql php7.4-gd php-imagick php7.4-tidy php7.4-xmlrpc php7.4-curl php7.4-mbstring php7.4-zip php7.4-soap php7.4-bcmath php7.4-intl php7.4-xsl php7.4-json zip unzip --install-recommends

(modify both php.ini)

sudo nano /etc/php/7.4/cli/php.ini
sudo nano /etc/php/7.4/fpm/php.ini
    memory_limit = 2G
    date.timezone = America/New_York
    apc.enable_cli = 1

a2enmod rewrite proxy_fcgi

sudo nano /etc/php/7.4/fpm/pool.d/www.conf    
    user = www-data
    group = www-data
    listen = /run/php/php7.4-fpm.sock
    listen.owner = www-data
    listen.group = www-data
    ## Optional: this can help to optimize if you have little memory in your virtual machine.
    # pm = ondemand
    # pm.max_children = 80
    # pm.process_idle_timeout = 10s
    # pm.max_requests = 200
   
sudo service apache2 restart    
sudo service php7.4-fpm restart

Add the Akeneo site to web server:

sudo mv /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf.bak
sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf
    <VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerName akeneo-pim.local

        DocumentRoot /var/www/html/public
        
        <Directory /var/www/html/public>
            AllowOverride None
            Require all granted

            Options -MultiViews
            RewriteEngine On
            RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
            RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php [QSA,L]
        </Directory>

        <Directory /var/www/html/public/bundles>
            RewriteEngine Off
        </Directory>

        <FilesMatch .php$>
            SetHandler "proxy:unix:/run/php/php7.4-fpm.sock|fcgi://localhost/"
        </FilesMatch>

        SetEnvIf Authorization .+ HTTP_AUTHORIZATION=$0

        ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/akeneo-pim_error.log
        LogLevel warn
        CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/akeneo-pim_access.log combined
    </VirtualHost>

    

Test if everything is working in the config (you might get some warning that will solve later)

   sudo apache2ctl configtest
   sudo service apache2 restart

Install Mysql, create db/user:

sudo apt install mysql-server mysql-client --install-recommends
    (Install phpmyadmin if you like):
    sudo apt install phpmyadmin --install-recommends 

Create DB and user:

sudo mysql -u root -p
    CREATE DATABASE akeneo_pim;
    CREATE USER akeneo_pim@localhost IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY 'akeneo-pim';
    GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON akeneo_pim.* TO akeneo_pim@localhost;
    FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
    EXIT

Configure root with password (optional):
    GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO root@localhost;
    FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
    EXIT;
    
Add other users as root (optional):   
    CREATE USER 'youruser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'CFKLDLNA'; 
    GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO youruser@localhost;
    FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
    EXIT;
        

Install JDK and ElasticSearch:

sudo apt install -y openjdk-11-jdk --install-recommends

wget -qO - https://artifacts.elastic.co/GPG-KEY-elasticsearch | sudo apt-key add -
sudo echo "deb https://artifacts.elastic.co/packages/7.x/apt stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/elastic-7.x.list
sudo apt update
sudo apt install elasticsearch

Options to limit memory usage (test as you need)

    sudo nano /etc/elasticsearch/jvm.options.d/jvm.options
    -Xms2g
    -Xmx2g

sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable elasticsearch.service
sudo service elasticsearch start

If Elasticsearch wont start at boot, give it little more timeout wait:

sudo mkdir /etc/systemd/system/elasticsearch.service.d
    echo -e "[Service]nTimeoutStartSec=250" | sudo tee /etc/systemd/system/elasticsearch.service.d/startup-timeout.conf
    sudo systemctl show elasticsearch | grep ^Timeout

Options for Akeneo:

sudo sysctl -w vm.max_map_count=262144
sudo nano /etc/sysctl.d/elasticsearch.conf
    vm.max_map_count=262144
sudo service elasticsearch restart
