In Ubuntu 14.04 open the terminal and type:

sudo add-apt-repository 'deb http://deb.versatica.com trusty main'
wget -O - http://deb.versatica.com/deb.versatica.com.key | sudo apt-key add -
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install oversip  

In Ubuntu 12.04 open the terminal and type:

sudo add-apt-repository 'deb http://deb.versatica.com precise main'
wget -O - http://deb.versatica.com/deb.versatica.com.key | sudo apt-key add -
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install oversip

Are you sure you already add the repository of oversip?!

So first of all you have to add the repository. Edit your /etc/apt/sources.list file (or create a new file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/oversip.list) and add the appropriate line for your Ubuntu distribution:

Ubuntu 12.04 Precise:

deb http://deb.versatica.com precise main

Ubuntu 12.10 Quantal:

deb http://deb.versatica.com quantal main

Ubuntu 13.04 Raring:

deb http://deb.versatica.com raring main

Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty Tahr:

deb http://deb.versatica.com trusty main

Then

sudo apt-get update

Now you can install

sudo apt-get install oversip

  • @kalpityadav Yes, you must to run sudo apt-get update to update the package list first before you try to install. Otherwise, oversip will not be included and so cannot be found.
