Failed to install binary package on Ubuntu 12.04

[davidgaleano]

There are several things wrong when trying to install the binary package on plain Ubuntu 12.04 following the instructions at http://hyperdex.org/download :

A) Ubuntu does not support a root user by default so the correct commands for installing the package would be something like:

wget -O - http://ubuntu.hyperdex.org/hyperdex.gpg.key | sudo apt-key add -
sudo wget -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/hyperdex.list http://ubuntu.hyperdex.org/hyperdex.list
sudo aptitude update

B) aptitude is not installed by default, so you would need:

sudo apt-get install aptitude

C) The package libgoogle-glog0 is not supported anymore and would require adding untrusted PPAs to install it.

Hi David,

The packages we provide are currently built for Ubuntu 11.10. I do not know why Ubuntu removed glog, but I'll have to package it again before we can support Ubuntu 12.04.

Thank you for the other feedback as well. We are working on a new "install" section for the documentation, and I'll make sure that what we say for Ubuntu is true for the latest release.

Glad to help, let me know if you need me to test anything.

I tried to build glog directly from its repository and it was fine, so not sure why the package is not available.

Our latest release contains 12.04 packages.
