At this time Fortinet's documentation for Ubuntu 22.04 LTS doesn't work for Linux Mint / Ubuntu straight from the box.
Fortinet's repository doesn't have 'non-free' folder.
To solve it use the following steps, with the necessary changes marked in green:
wget -O - https://repo.fortinet.com/repo/forticlient/7.2/ubuntu/DEB-GPG-KEY | gpg --dearmor | sudo tee /usr/share/keyrings/repo.fortinet.com.gpg
deb [arch=amd64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/repo.fortinet.com.gpg] https://repo.fortinet.com/repo/forticlient/7.2/ubuntu/ /stable multiverse
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt install forticlient
PS: As a matter of fact, these instructions are valid for Ubuntu / Debian, as the repository definition is the same.
