  • look for the package in the repo like apt-cache search openmpi then pick up the proper one by definition. In your case it might be sudo apt-get install openmpi-bin

I would comment but it won't let me since I am fairly new to this community. Have you tried the following instructions?

The command you would be looking for is:

sudo apt-get install openmpi-bin openmpi-common openssh-client openssh-server libopenmpi1.3 libopenmpi-dbg libopenmpi-dev

Though this will install the current version which is v3.0. It seems you are trying to install a prerelease which might not be available through apt-get as suggested by @tranfuria.

it seems that you might be missing the apt ppa for wherever that package is coming from. Doing a quick google search i couldn't find it.

Download the package from this url: http://beopen.bplaced.net/2018/01/open-mpi-3-0-1rc2/

unpacking it (it's a gzip) and following the instructions in the included INSTALL file.
