Can't install packages I'm trying to install the Banshee music-player, but everytime I type apt-get install Banshee I get this response. root@kali:~# apt-get install Banshee Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done E: Unable to locate package Banshee After that I thought maybe some sources are missing, so typed them also in. root@kali:~# deb kali main non-free contrib bash: deb: command not found root@kali:~# deb kali/updates main contrib non-free bash: deb: command not found root@kali:~# deb-src kali main non-free contrib bash: deb-src: command not found root@kali:~# deb-src kali/updates main contrib non-free bash: deb-src: command not found Then I found some post with the same problem, saying type `sudo` in, but since I'm logged in as root this must not be a problem for me.

Banshee (the animal) is not the same thing as `banshee` (the package name). These package names are case sensitive, and Debian packages have not been allowed to use upper case letters in their names since over fifteen years.

Also, the lines beginning with `deb` are _not_ commands; they are URIs that should be entered into the apt configuration file for that purpose, `/etc/apt/sources.list`.

Finally, note that you can _search_ for packages with `apt-cache search `. This will search substrings of package names as well as descriptions. If there is no `banshee` package name (I haven't checked), then `apt-cache search banshee` should help.
