Check package name. If it is correct apt-get must be work. N yes dont forget to put sudo if not root user.
Well i dont seem to have any outbound connection, this is my respond :Reading package lists… Done Building dependency tree
Reading state information… Done E: Unable to locate package
ive tried to update repository sources.list with no luck
It should be pretty straightforward, once you know the name of the package you want to install. “apt-get install <package-name>” If you’re not running as root, you’ll need to sudo “sudo apt-get install <package-name>”
