can't install nordvpn on ubuntu 20.04
today I removed nordvpn and tried to install it again, I followed all steps that mentioned in the official website and still can't get it work.
sudo dpkg -i ./nordvpn-release_1.0.0_all.deb
sudo apt update
sudo apt install nordvpn

E: Unable to locate package nordvpn
Solution 1:
If you downloaded the .deb
via a browser it should be in \home\<user name>\Downloads
, cd
to that location:
cd /path/
sudo dpkg -i <name of file>.deb
If it shows broken packages or missing dependancies follow on-screen instructions.
In response to below comments, seems like the .deb
file just adds a repository but does not install the nordvpn package.So you need to run
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nordvpn
as well to actually install it which wasn't clear to me.
Check for these two lines for a successful addition when apt update
is run:
Get: https://repo.nordvpn.com/deb/nordvpn/debian stable/main amd64 Packages [3,298 B]
Get: https://repo.nordvpn.com/deb/nordvpn/debian stable/main i386 Packages [3,298 B]
Seems like the .deb
failed to add the contents to /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nordvpn.list
, so here are they
deb [arch=amd64] http://repo.nordvpn.com/deb/nordvpn/debian stable main
deb [arch=i386 ] http://repo.nordvpn.com/deb/nordvpn/debian stable main
Steps:
cd /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
sudo nano nordvpn.list
Add the above contents exactly as they are without any "#" at start or end in a blank line.
Runsudo apt update
then and sudo apt install nordvpn
