When I try to install librocksdb5.8, I get this error:

root@:~# sudo apt-get install -y librocksdb5.8
Reading package lists... Done

E: Unable to locate package librocksdb5.8
E: Couldn't find any package by glob 'librocksdb5.8'

How do I install librocksdb5.8 on 19.10?

You need to enable the Universe repository to get this package. However, 19.10 uses version 5.17 instead of 5.8.

Run the following commands to enable the Universe repository and to install the package on Ubuntu 18.04:

sudo add-apt-repository universe
sudo apt update
sudo apt install librocksdb5.8

Run the following commands to enable the Universe repository and to install the package on Ubuntu 19.10:

sudo add-apt-repository universe
sudo apt update
sudo apt install librocksdb5.17

In the future, you can search for packages using the apt-cache search command like in this example:

apt-cache search librocksdb

Alternatively, you can also search for packages at packages.ubuntu.com to locate packages. This will also indicate which repository to use.

  • it works on ubuntu 18.04 but not on 19.10 – user3546588 Nov 02 '19 at 08:56
  • @user3546588 Sorry, without specifying your Ubuntu version, I have to assume the latest long term support version (18.04). I have updated the answer with instructions for 19.10. – mchid Nov 02 '19 at 15:02
