I was on the Ubuntu Software Center and downloaded "C, C++ and Objective-C compiler(clang)." I didn't see it anywhere so i went to "search your computer and online resources" and didn't see it anywhere. I went to Ubuntu Software Center and went to the "installed" tab and searched for it. But it was not there (by the way it said that it was installed when I searched for it again except this as in the all software center in Ubuntu software center). This was weird and annoying so I went to terminal and entered open C, C++ and Objective-C compiler
but it said that it couldn't get a file descriptor referring to the console. All helpful answers will be fully appreciated.
BTW my question is not a duplicate of "How can I know what programs some apt-get package contains?" as suggested by muru as one question is asking about how can they know what a package contains where my question is asking about where my download even is, obvious difference
gcc
,c++
,clang
. If I try those I get fatal error because I did not provide them a file to compile. If they are not installed Ubuntu reports that they are not installed and suggests how to install them.clang
is the package name. Now use the other question see what files it provides.clang
andclang++
commands but they're missing? If so, please let us know, and also typeclang
in a terminal without pressing Enter and press Tab twice (that'll show you what commands you have that start withclang
, if any). Or if you don't know how to use Clang, then this is an XY problem and you should tell us about what you want to do/learn.clang file.c
or from some IDEs to compile stuff
