I am a new user of Ubuntu. My problem is this. In a CentOS installation guide I came across a command like yum install libjpeg-devel libpng-devel Since I am on Ubuntu I thought this is to be changed as apt-get install libjpeg-devel libpng-devel But it gives and error telling unable to locate package. Please tell me what I did wrong. There are some more commands like that

The package names are also different. In Debian-based systems like Ubuntu, the package typically has a -dev ending as opposed to -devel. For example, libjpeg-dev and libpng-dev. You'll have to manually find each such corresponding package.
