How do you install devilspie? - TuxInAGalaxy - 02-21-2017

For my Audacity Chasing me around the Workspaces:  http://www.freecinema2022.gq/forums/other/audacity-chases-me-around-on-the-xfce-desktop/  it was suggested that I use devilspie.

I haven't been able to figure out how to install it.  According to this:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Devilspie  I need to have the universe repositories check marked.  I have Community-maintained free and open-source software (universe) enabled.  Yet I can't sudo apt-get install it, or sudo apt install it.

Hi,

Have you updated your local packages lists? They get downloaded according to repositories you have active.

Code:
sudo apt-get update
OR
Code:
sudo apt update

Then you can search for the package:
Code:
aptitude search <search string>
OR
Code:
apt search <search string>
OR
Code:
apt-cache search <search string>

That will give you the exact name of the package for installation.

Hope that helps Smile
