Hebrew support in LyX - install problem Linux

Post by noamhayun »

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 ?

Hi noamhayun,

welcome to the forum!

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

thank you :)
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. :) thank you
