I recently installed VS code and I cannot download the g++ compiler. I type sudo apt install g++ and it returns

I have tried running apt-get update and tried deleting the sudo g++ file and reinstalling it, nothing seems to work.

  • Do you get any errors in sudo apt update. The package you're trying to download is out-dated, so I suspect you have something wrong with your sources (such as non-Ubuntu), or use a mirror that is last-update-unknown (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archivemirrors) or aren't using Ubuntu (is that why you haven't told us your release?) – guiverc Mar 22 '19 at 04:09
  • Everything guiverc says is correct. In addition to what was said, it looks like you're having problems accessing that IP address. Can you ping 91.189.88.161? And also try going to http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu via a web browser? Both should work. – Ray Mar 22 '19 at 05:08

Looks like you might need to setup a correct DNS server to resolve these urls. 

sudo vim /etc/resolv.conf

Then add google DNS for example:

nameserver 8.8.4.4

After that run sudo apt-get update

Then proceeds with your normal install.

put this first to install linux-libc-dev package which you can't download

TEMP_DEB="$(mktemp)" &&
wget -O "$TEMP_DEB" 'http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux/linux-libc-dev_4.15.0-49.53_amd64.deb' &&
sudo dpkg -i "$TEMP_DEB"
rm -f "$TEMP_DEB"

then start sudo apt-get install gcc.
