How to solve Package ethereum has no installation candidate error

Question

I am trying to install Ethereum on my system and when I run the following command:

sudo apt-get install ethereum

I get the following error:

Reading package lists... Done

Building dependency tree      

Reading state information... Done

Package ethereum is not available, but is referred to by another package.

This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or

is only available from another source

E: Package 'ethereum' has no installation candidate

How to sove this?

Answer 1

This error might have occurred because your system does not support the Ethereum. It is a compatibility issue. So instead of running that command, run the unstable version as follows:

sudo apt-get install ethereum-unstable
