How to add a repository

[Jodes]

Hi,

I'm trying to install http://www.openhantek.org/ on my PI.

I'm not even getting through the first hurdle, it appears the command "add-apt-repository" is not found.

How do I add a repository to Raspbian? I've tried Googling to no avail. Is it even possible to add a repository?

Thanks!

Look in the /etc/apt directory. In particular /etc/apt/sources.list and/or files in the /etc/apt/sources.list.d directory.

These are all system files. You'll need to use sudo nano or similar to edit the files.

If you are reading the page at http://www.openhantek.org/w/p/installation/, the clue is in the first sentence -

When using Ubuntu, OpenHantek can be easily installed from it's launchpad repository. To add the repository just execute the following command:

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:oliverhaag/openhantek

Since you are using Raspbian, you cannot be using Ubuntu. So the rest of the sentence does not apply to you.

You will have to use the instructions which follow on that page, headed "Compiling from source"

Hi all

I have also been toying with the idea to hook up my Hantek DSO 2090 with a RPi . Have you had any success. Any help will be greatly appreciated ...

thanks a mil..

Raspberry pi comes without it installed by default, but running this quick command will make add-apt-repository available for you.

sudo apt-get install python-software-properties

"adding a repository" is just adding another URL to a list of web-sites (repositories) in a text file.

you can do that with any text editor.

The real question is simply where the text file is located, and what its name is.

For that google is your friend.

A more important question is "Is that repository compatible with Raspbian and the Raspberry Pi?"

That one probably isn't (if it doesn't say it is compatible, assume it is not).

The earlier comment about compiling from source is the safest option.

sudo apt-get install python-software-properties

Cannot run

Code: Select all

add-at-repository

on Raspberry Pi 3. Get an error:

add-apt-repository: command not found

add-apt-repository: command not found

That script is part of the package software-properties-common, see https://packages.debian.org/search?suit ... repository
To install it

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install software-properties-common

Wine is compiled for machines with x86 / ppc CPU machines:

https://packages.debian.org/jessie/wine

The RPi has ARM CPU, Exagear I believe use an x86 emulator to run Wine........

[MHerman]

SO, do you have any idea how to install wine without use exagear?
since i cannot insert the software souces? =.="

Seems like qemu virtual machine can virtualise a x86 environment and the package is available from the Radpbian Jessie repository:

I found myself needing a library from a distro that I'd just upgraded from. I had upgraded to Stretch from Jessie and I needed libjpeg8-dev to make Omxiv which is not available in Stretch. I added the old distro back to the sources list as follows.

In a terminal I entered:
sudo pico /etc/apt/sources.list

Next, edit the sources file to add Jessie by entering the following lines:
deb http://raspbian.raspberrypi.org/raspian/ jessie main contribute non-free rpi

deb-src http://raspbian.raspberrypi.org/raspian/ jessie main contribute non-free rpi

Next write/save (Ctrl o) the file and exit (Ctrl x).

Next, run update:
sudo apt-get update

That's it! I just did an install of libjpeg8-dev without any problems. Next I went back and opened the sources.list file again in Pico and commented out the souces that I had added by placing a # at the start of my Jessie sources so that I could add them back if needed.

Lastly, I ran update again to refresh the sources without Jessie so that no future installs could access the old distro unless I had no choice but to provide them access.

The end result was that I was finally able to run Raspicast on Stretch.
