Install Geogebra 6 command line on Linux

Koen Roggemans shared this question 5 months ago

I think I'm missing the obvious.

I expect the following to work:

wget -q -O - http://www.geogebra.net/lin... | sudo apt-key add -

sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://www.geogebra.net/linux/ stable main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/geogebra.list'

sudo apt update

sudo apt install geogebra-classic

The result is that the packet geogebra-classic can not be found.

I try to install Geogebra 6 on all our students Ubuntu 18.04 laptops by distributing a script. It words like this using geogebra5.

Does anyone see what I'm missing?

Kind regards

Koen

I noticed in the mean time that http://www.geogebra.net/lin... doesn't contain the package, but that it exists in http://www.geogebra.net/lin...

I found an unanswered question, also mentioning a problem installing with apt on a debian based system (xubuntu): https://help.geogebra.org/t...

To me it seems like a bug in the publishing of the debian package: it is not included in the packages file, so therefore apt can't find it . Can someone add this please? It would make the roll out of Geogebra so much easier for schools running Linux.

I'm having the same issue installing the geogebra-classic package on a number of machines too. Appears as Koen has said; the Packages.gz file does not contain reference to the .deb package for geogebra-classic.

Thank you for reporting this problem. We found the issue and we will fix it soon. Until then please use the direct link to the .deb file.

Still unable to install geogebra-classic via the repo.

When I check the Packages file (from http://www.geogebra.net/lin...) theres still no reference for the amd64 version, although there is for the 32bit version (http://www.geogebra.net/lin...).

The amd64 binaries are here though http://www.geogebra.net/lin... so feels like something still isn't quite right.

Strange, it works here with no problem. Can you please copy that part of the Packages file that makes the issue? Here I can see

Package: geogebra-classic

Version: 6.0.559.0-201909172035

Architecture: amd64

There may be a problem with the download server as well, but basically it should work by now.

So the Packages and Packages.gz my machine is referencing both do not contain the geogebra-classic entry. Have attached the Packages.gz and the Packages file (renamed with a .txt suffix to allow attachment).

To be fair it could just be a time thing so will try again this afternoon.

Files: Packages.txt Packages.gz

Seems to be working ok now on most machines. Still a few lagging behind but that may be more due to some kind of cache thing at our end.

Thanks for looking into this.

Did you run an apt update prior to trying?

The machines are puppetised so should do an apt update at least every day. But I think all machines are installing correctly now.
