I have installed lyx according to a guide that I found, and I'm trying to make it support Hebrew by running this :
sudo apt-get install culmus ivritex
and it says : E: unable to locate package ivritex.
what can I do to make it work ?

Correct,
sudo apt-get install ivritex
should be the way to install. Maybe your Linux repositories don't have it.Perhaps download the .deb file from here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/ivrite ... tex-1.2.1/
Then run
sudo dpki -i ivritex_1.2.1-1_all.deb

I tried the first option and the error is just the same as I described at the open message.
I also tried to download the file and it says that dpki command not found.
edit : you rock! thank you very much it was dpkg and now it works.
