Cannot set LC_ALL to locale en_US.UTF-8: JavaScript is not supported

Question

I'm running mysql v8.0.23 in my local machine.

$ sudo apt-get install mysql-server
$ sudo snap install mysql-shell

But when I try to enter mysqlsh enter into js mode, It is giving the following error:

$ mysqlsh --js
Cannot set LC_ALL to locale en_US.UTF-8: No such file or directory
JavaScript is not supported.

Though I can switch to \sql or \py. What am I missing?
