I installed Ubuntu 14.04 image on docker. After that, when I try to install packages inside the ubuntu image, I'm getting unable to locate package error:
apt-get install curl Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done E: Unable to locate package curl How to fix this error?

Method 1: Using Command Line InterfaceTo install any packages, you first need to update the OS. Step 3: After you have updated the Docker Container, you can now install the Firefox and Vim packages inside it. You can now easily use these packages through the bash itself.
It is because there is no package cache in the image, you need to run:
apt-get update before installing packages, and if your command is in a Dockerfile, you'll then need:
apt-get -y install curl To suppress the standard output from a command use -qq. E.g.
apt-get -qq -y install curl If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
