I'm trying to install Python 2.7 on Ubuntu 16.04.
When I trype python or python2 or python2.7, I get the following message:
The program 'python' can be found in the following packages:
* python-minimal
* python3
Try: sudo apt install <selected package>
After running sudo apt install python2.7, I get the following message but python is still unavailable when I type python.
Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state
information... Done You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to
correct these: The following packages have unmet dependencies:
mongodb-compass : Depends: gvfs-bin
Depends: python but it is not going to be installed
python2.7 : Depends: python2.7-minimal (= 2.7.12-1ubuntu0~16.04.3) but
it is not going to be installed
Depends: libpython2.7-stdlib (= 2.7.12-1ubuntu0~16.04.3) but
it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies.
Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
I also tried:
sudo apt install pythonsudo apt install python2.7sudo apt install python2sudo apt-get install pythonsudo apt-get install python 2.7sudo apt-get install python2
Nothing have worked till now.
I can access Python3.5 by just typing python3, but I need python2.7.
I updated the repository before trying to install python. What am I doing wrong?
