After running the following code

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/y-ppa-manager

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install y-ppa-manager

couldn't access to y-ppa-manager, the program doesn't exist on my system.

What should I do?

  • Are you sure it was indeed installed? What do you see when you type y-ppa-manager in the terminal? – Registered User Dec 04 '14 at 06:03
  • if you type sudo apt-get install y-ppa-manager, it will ask you to install it if it's not already and if it's installed it will simply tell you this package is already installed. :) – Alvar Dec 04 '14 at 06:06
  • I am not really sure whether it was installed or not but after running the code it seemed like fetching the repositories or whatever it is called.But when I search for y-ppa manager on my unity dash it does not show up. Isn't there any way to download for Ubuntu 14.04lts. And if there is than please teach me step by step. Thanks for your time. – user279506 Dec 04 '14 at 06:23
