安装RHC包Ubuntu

Question

I just installed Elementary OS on my laptop which has the apt-get package management system, like Ubuntu.

I need to install RHC client tools on the laptop, but when I run

sudo apt-get install rhc

I get the error:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package rhc

On researching online some suggested I run the command:

cat /etc/apt/sources.list

Which I did and get the following details:

Any idea why I can't install this basic software?

Answer 1

TL;DR . Try installing it as a gem .

There's no rhc package for trusty, a Ubuntu 14.04 LTS release upon which Elementary OS is built.

rhc package is only available for wily, xenial or yakkety versions of Ubuntu (see top right corner of this page ).

OpenShift official install documentation mistakenly states that rhc is available starting Ubuntu vivid release, but clicking that link leads to a non-existent page.
