I’m trying to install some dependencies and I get errors. For example, with git, I get “package git has no installation candidate’

With libx11-dev and several other prerequisites, I get “unable to locate package”.

    try: `sudo apt update && sudo apt install git` If not, update the question with the output of `lsb_release -a` and `cat /etc/apt/sources.list` – moo Jun 21 '20 at 15:16

First of all after installation you have to run

sudo apt-get update && sudo dpkg --configure -a

Thi sinitiates your package manager additionaly to keep everything clean

sudo apt-get autoremove && sudo apt-get autoclean

No you are ready to go. start by searching the package you want to install

sudo apt-cache search git

This will bring you the search result and you can do

sudo apt-get install git

If still appears same error then check for content in apt source file probably in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
However you can always simplify the process by using GUI software called package manager. You can launch that software by searching in menu.
