How can I use/install Sikulix on Ubuntu 17.10

I've issued 'sudo apt install sikulix' on my 17.10 Ubuntu install and it appeared to successfully install. However, when I try to run the command I get the following:

My guess is that sikulix hasn't been updated for Wayland?
Is there a way to get this to work?
