If ymin's method hits an error of

Reading state information... Done Package python-software-properties is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source However the following packages replace it:
software-properties-common
... this slightly tweaked line worked for me (note: if it makes any difference...I needed it to install 32-bit dependencies for my own wine build)
> sudo apt-get install software-properties-common git-coreIn the executable install-deps within ~/torch, you need to edit it so that every instance of python-software-properties should be software-properties-common
An easy solution that worked for me would be to just run this simple python3 script:
with open(PATH_TO_<install-deps>, "r") as f: text = f.read()
change = text.replace("python-software-properties", "software-properties-common")
with open(PATH_TO_<install-deps>, "w") as f: f.write(change)I also got the same error. Open terminal and type below command
sudo apt-get install -y software-properties-commonthen, this
sudo apt-get install -y python-software-propertiesI hope this will work. It worked in my system.
