1 Answer
I think you mean that you're trying to install the Ubuntu SDK, but you're not able to.
The correct name of the Ubuntu SDK package is ubuntu-sdk
. So, to install the Ubuntu SDK package, the correct command is this:
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-sdk
Explanation of the error you got:
What you probably did in the terminal is this:
sudo apt-get install ubuntu sdk
This means: install a package called ubuntu
and a package called sdk
. You put a space between the names, this indicates that you want to install two packages called ubuntu
and sdk
, but since there are no packages called that, you got the error unable to locate <package>
.
You can search for the package names before you try to install. For example, you can use this command: apt-cache search ubuntu sdk
, here's the output:
alaa@aa-lu:~$ apt-cache search ubuntu sdk
ubuntu-sdk - Ubuntu SDK
alaa@aa-lu:~$
This indicates that the package name is ubuntu-sdk
, and that's what you use when you try to install.
