while running the command "sudo apt-get install ostinato" it is giving an error "E: Unable to locate package ostinato"
Please help how to successfully install it.
@Anonymous,
If you use a never Ubuntu version (11.10 or 12.04 for instance), then you need to use different commands.
For instructions to install it on all never Ubuntu (and other distributions), please visit the below link and once you're in that page, click on the 'Ubuntu' icon and follow the onscreen instructions.
Good luck.
