Missing xterm on Linux Mint when installing Juniper Network Connect

I was trying to connect to company SSL VPN that uses Juniper Network Connect on Linux Mint 17 64-bit.

However, the network connect dialog keeps shutting down after launch for  a few seconds.

I've followed their support documentation at http://kb.juniper.net/InfoCenter/index?page=content&id=KB25230 but it was still not working.

After a bit digging around, I found the log fail at ~/.juniper_networks/network_connect/installnc.log shows missing xterm.

After installing xterm with sudo apt-get install xterm, I can finally connect successfully to the VPN.
