not gtest folder in /usr/src/ folder

Question

I am trying to install gtest in 18.04. I ran

sudo apt-get install libgtest-dev

but when I go in to the folder /usr/src/ there is not gtest or googletest folder.

According to this:

• https://gist.github.com/Cartexius/4c437c084d6e388288201aadf9c8cdd5
• Why no library files installed for google test?

There should be a directory for me to build gtest.

Does anyone know what is going on?

Answer 1

You have to try reinstalling both packages by:

sudo apt-add-repository universe
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install --reinstall googletest libgtest-dev

and retry directory listing.
