I have to install Caffe for a project in my university. I am new to Ubuntu and I am using it since I wasn't able to build Caffe on Windows at all.

I have tried following the original tutorial. If I run sudo apt install caffe-cuda, I get the error Unable to locate package caffe-cuda. I understand, based on this, that this package is only available in 18.04 repositories. If I understand correctly, there is an easy way to get these packages, but unfortunately, after I run sudo apt update, a bunch of errors pop up, like

E: The repository 'http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-security InRelease' is not signed.
N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default.
N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details.
W: GPG error: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-updates InRelease: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 3B4FE6ACC0B21F32

And if I run apt-cache search caffe, caffe-cuda is not there.

Right now, the only solution that comes to my mind is manually installing each package with its dependencies, but since every dependency has a dependency and so on, I was hoping there was an easier way.

I ask to you: am I missing something? What am I doing wrong? Why can't I get 18.04 packages cleanly?

    What you are doing wrong: Not fixing those apt errors first. – user535733 May 09 '21 at 01:14

    Deb packages are made to work with a specific release of Ubuntu (due to shared dependency versions). It is very unlikely that you will get 18.04 packages to work on 21.04. This is a common mistake that new users coming from Windows make. Either run 18.04 packages on an 18.04 system, or install from source (instead of packages). – user535733 May 09 '21 at 01:17
  • An alternative would be to use caffe-cpu instead of caffe-cuda, if you do not need the support of the GPU – Charles Green May 09 '21 at 01:49
