You are using darwin-x86\_64 - [Mac](https://www.elastic.co/downloads/past-releases/heartbeat-7-17-18) version on Ubuntu.  
Try with: [.deb](https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/beats/heartbeat/heartbeat-7.17.18-amd64.deb) or [tar](https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/beats/heartbeat/heartbeat-7.17.18-linux-x86_64.tar.gz). Tar is the binary for any Linux platform.
