I'm trying to install torch on Ubuntu 20.04.

When I run:

cd ~/torch; bash install-deps;

it generates this error:

Package ipython is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'ipython' has no installation candidate

How do I install ipython?

If you already have pip installed on your machine, ipython can be installed like this:

pip3 install ipython

If pip is not installed, you’ll need to do this first:

sudo apt install -y python3-pip

That should give you what you need.

First solution(via apt): The newest ipython deb version download:

http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/i/ipython/ipython_5.8.0-1_all.deb

Then install it via apt:

sudo apt install /dir/to/ipython_5.8.0-1_all.deb

NOTE:

I think it's not the best solution, but it is worth a try.

Second solution via apt(easy):

sudo apt install python3-ipython

Run:

sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list

And add these lines.

deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic main universe
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-security main universe 
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-updates main universe

Press Ctrl+O to save the file. Press Ctrl+X to quit nano.
