Vlc on Ubuntu live usb

Question

I created Ubuntu live usb stick and I wanted install vlc on it.

I downloaded the package but it didn't install.

I tried the sudo apt-get method, but it didn't work.

Is there any way how to install vlc on Ubuntu live without installing it on computer?

Did you try a simple sudo apt-get install vlc in a terminal? If that doesn't work, what is the error message? — Jakob Lenfers, Nov 01 '16 at 19:51

If I understand correctly, vlc is in the repository universe. If it is not available, you must activate that repository. You can do it with the following commands (or with some GUI tool, for example synaptic).

sudo add-apt-repository universe
sudo apt-get update

then it should work to install vlc with

sudo apt-get install vlc

Should be the accepted answer! On 18.04, without the universe repos enven the ppa doesn't work (E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. etc...) – ponsfrilus Apr 29 '18 at 17:48

Note that to install a program in live mode and that changes when you shut down not miss is to allocate space for persistence. I have understood that the only live usb creator that allows that is UNetbootin. Try also enabled all repositories in software origins
