I am currently trying to setup my Windows 10 Dev Box with WSL. I have successfully install Ubuntu (Ubuntu 16.04.3) on a Windows 10 Insider Preview Version 1803 (OS Build 17666.1000). Using this walkthru to setup a RoR Dev ENV. Getting Rails app to...
sudo apt-get update seems to run fine.
sudo apt-get install git-core curl zlib1g-dev seems to run fine except libfreetype6 is no longer required.
When I try to run a build-essential command it gives me this message: build-essential: command not found
I try to apt-get autoremove to see if the libfreetype6 is causing the issue, no dice. I try sudo apt-get install --reinstall build-essential and it installs, but as soon as I run another build-essential command, it's not found again. Am I missing something?
Any help or direction would be awesome. Thanks.
You're missing nothing. build-essential is a package, not a command.
If you do apt show build-essential, you will notice this line:
Depends: libc6-dev | libc-dev, gcc (>= 4:7.2), g++ (>= 4:7.2), make, dpkg-dev (>= 1.17.11)
So it's just a convenient package that installs a set of essential build tools.
Furthermore, if you do dpkg -L build-essential, you will find that it contains nothing in /usr/bin (or whatever binary directory).
you have to install build-essential. first update repo list and update your libs, then install it.
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install build-essential
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install build-essential
It works for me in WSL, thanks Roberto

Yesterday I updated Ubuntu from 14.04 to 16.04, when I tried to install git, I got this error:
The package linux-headers-4.4.0-65 needs to be reinstalled, but I
can't find an archive for it.
Then I tried to install another software, to the same error.
First you need to
sudo apt-get update
Then
sudo apt-get install git
I had a similar problem on Kali-Linux once. The thing that worked for me was:
sudo dpkg --configure -a

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
I'm new in Linux and I would like to unistall gcc 4.9 which is installed in my distro Linux Mint LMDE 2 and install gcc 5. I tried to used the following command:
sudo apt-get install gcc5
but it didn't worked. Can someone please help me with this? Please provide all steps to follow. Thank you in advance
Try this.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gcc-5 g++-5
apt-get autoremove
This should work in Linux Mint if I'm not mistaken, as its still using the same respository.
sudo apt-get respository ppa:ubntu-toolchain-r/test
This will install you the correct respositories you need for the computer. Some packages are not automatically known to the computer so you need to install the respositories so the computer can install it.
sudo apt-get update
This will update your computer and all packages and the respoitory, this wil ensure it will now work
sudo apt-get install gcc-5 g++-5
This will install the gcc-5 version you wanted.
sudo apt-get autoremove
When you install certain stuff, some things are no longer needed. Maybe a required package from a previous version that you no longer need, do this to conserve space.
I am using ubuntu 14.04 on VirtualBox. I try install mysql-server using command
sudo apt-get install mysql-server, i always got error like below:
Some packages could be installed .This may mean that you have
request an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
mysqsl-server : Depends: mysql-server-5.5 but it is not going to be installed
E:Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
and then i try use some command like below :
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get autoclean
sudo apt-get purge mysql-server*
sudo apt-get install mysql-server
but it still error. Please help me!
Have you tried using
sudo apt-get install -f
This can repair broken packages or purge the installation.
If mysql-server is not installed with -f , you can try to install with normal way
sudo apt-get install mysql-server -y
How can I compile/install node.js on Ubuntu? It failed with an error about cxx compiler.
One-liner to install all needed dependencies(curl and git are not really needed, but are very useful and also needed if you install via nvm).
sudo apt-get install build-essential libssl-dev curl git-core
Last two dependencies are not always needed, but installing them is really usefull anyway and you probably need it later anyway.
To only install cxx compiler
sudo apt-get install build-essential
If openssl is missing
sudo apt-get install libssl-dev
If like me, you are attempting to install this on an AWS instance running Amazon Linux AMI (which looks to be a cut down version CentOS):
Install base tools:
yum groupinstall "Development Tools"
Now install openssl-devel:
yum install openssl-devel
Node should compile fine now.
If you're attempting this on Win7 like me, running:
ash.exe
$ /bin/rebaseall
...did the trick.
Good luck!
If you find yourself getting this error on Mac OSX, you need to install XCode.

I needed to run yum install gcc-c++ on Cent OS.
There is a package for it on launchpad.
https://launchpad.net/~chris-lea/+archive/node.js/
For Node.js v6:
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_6.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
For Node.js v7:
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_7.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
Optional: install build tools
To compile and install native addons from npm you may also need to install build tools:
sudo apt-get install -y build-essential
After to get latest NPM packages, if you need:
npn update -g
