I want to install plasma-nm software in Elementary OS, which is not available in Software center. When I searched for .deb package, its asking for many dependencies. There are over a dozens of dependencies to install before install plasma-nm, downloading them individually and installing is very difficult.
is there any software or command which can download and install all dependencies for me?
sudo apt-get install plasma-nm is not helping.
Also plasma-nm is not available in synaptic package manager.
Please help

1But it probably lists these unmet dependencies, and you might install them with `apt-get install` – Basile Starynkevitch Oct 20 '14 at 21:25

After trying a lot, The problem was Elementary OS. Plasma-nm needs network-manager 0.9.8 or greater.
Need to install ubuntu 13.04 or greater for this. There is no support for elementary os regarding this (even though elementary is based on ubuntu, but an older version).
Good luck!
Please consider changing the name of the question to something like:
