I now was able to apt purge the packages which I tried to install instead of running the above command. This resolved the issue. This was not possible before but probably it was due to a running process. So, there is no need to run dpkg --configure -a, just if you really want to finalize the installation.

The command is add-apt-repository, you're missing the second hyphen.

As another option all the Jetbrains IDEs are in Java, have installers for Linux, and are excellent. They are also free if you are a student or teacher.
(Its ironic how much of a boon to Linux java has been given all the hate directed at it by Linux C snobs back in the day.)
I use Rider for C# and Webstorm for all the Web stuff including TypeScript, and ...

This worked for me:
$ sudo chown -R root /home/$USERNAME/.cache/pip/
$ sudo chown -R root /home/$USERNAME/.cache/pip/http/
Note: Use this way only if you always use pip as root. Otherwise pip may not use the cache directories since they are owned by root.

According to the link in your question everything including caffe itself is packaged in 17.04 and higher versions, but you are currently using Ubuntu 16.04 which does not contain these packages in its default repositories.

The above answers didn't change anything for me. What worked was sudo dpkg --purge <package>. This also worked for broken packages which weren't installed, e.g.
pB libnspr4-0d
Note: dpkg threw a warning, but the broken package disappeared from the list (if another one appears, repeat until done).

Most likely, you are seeing this because you forgot to properly select the ISO in Rufus or changed the Boot selection field to FreeDOS after you picked the file.

In addition to Mitch's answer:
If you are not best friends with your shell (yet), you can also just visit the home page of vscode ( https://code.visualstudio.com that is ) and click on their download link.
When downloaded, you can double click the .deb file which will open the software center and let you install vscode using a graphical interface.

This should point you in the right direction.

The reason why anbox.appmgr is not running is not related to the message about libgtk3-nocsd.so.0.
Instead you need to make sure that:
The necessary kernel drivers are installed. You can test this by running:
ls -1 /dev/{ashmem,binder}
and if these are missing, do the kernel module install process as described in https://docs.anbox.io/userguide/...
