I recently installed VS code and I cannot download the g++ compiler. I type sudo apt install g++ and it returns

I have tried running apt-get update and tried deleting the sudo g++ file and reinstalling it, nothing seems to work.

Looks like you might need to setup a correct DNS server to resolve these urls. 

sudo vim /etc/resolv.conf

Then add google DNS for example:

nameserver 8.8.4.4

After that run sudo apt-get update

Then proceeds with your normal install.

put this first to install linux-libc-dev package which you can't download

TEMP_DEB="$(mktemp)" &&
wget -O "$TEMP_DEB" 'http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux/linux-libc-dev_4.15.0-49.53_amd64.deb' &&
sudo dpkg -i "$TEMP_DEB"
rm -f "$TEMP_DEB"

then start sudo apt-get install gcc.
