I am attempting to install neo4j in ubuntu 14.04 as specified in http://neo4j.com/docs/operations-manual/current/installation/linux/debian/?_ga=2.249168388.2041192375.1507250087-893468657.1507250087

The installation instruction I am using is

but it doesn't work

Reading package lists... Done

E: Unable to locate package neo4j

I'd apreciate any help

Answer 1

Maybe you forgot to add the debian repository and to update your list of packages:

wget -O - https://debian.neo4j.org/neotechnology.gpg.key | sudo apt-key add -
echo 'deb https://debian.neo4j.org/repo stable/' | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/neo4j.list
sudo apt-get update

Answer 2

I had the same problem on Debian and installing "apt-transport-https" fixed it because deb https://debian.neo4j.org/repo stable/ is using https. You can install it with this:

sudo apt install apt-transport-https
