ImportError: libsystemd.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

When downloading the portable linux release from https://github.com/masonasons/FastSM/releases/download/latest/FastSM-Linux-Portable.tar.gz, I am greeted with

Traceback (most recent call last):

ImportError: libsystemd.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[PYI-28259:ERROR] Failed to execute script 'FastSM' due to unhandled exception!

What specific features of systemd does fastsm rely on, and could these be re-written so the app can run without them?
