Facing the following error: E: Unable to locate package python-empy

Question

I am trying to install the toolchain for building Px4 on Linux.

I am facing the following error when I am giving the below command:

sudo apt-get install python-argparse git-core wget zip \ python-empy qtcreator cmake build-essential

E: Unable to locate package python-empy

Log:

neelesh@neelesh-Lenovo-G580:~$ sudo apt-get install python-argparse git-core wget zip \ python-empy qtcreator cmake build-essential genromfs -y

Try to do:

sudo apt-get install python-argparse git-core wget zip python-empy qtcreator cmake build-essential -y

The problem is you are using the back slash "/" wrong. It is used for the target release.

Different ways to do the same, I just wanted to check if the package you are trying to install you can download it, because I could. Did you try separate? – developer_hatch May 27 '17 at 01:55
So, you could install all the package! great! so, what's your other question? – developer_hatch May 27 '17 at 01:56
Separate means like this?? neelesh@neelesh-Lenovo-G580:~$ python-empy qtcreator cmake build-essential genromfs -y python-empy: command not found – Neelesh I May 27 '17 at 01:57
No no, your problem is with the back slash "/", this is used for the target release, if you erese it everything work, I will update the answer so you can see – developer_hatch May 27 '17 at 02:00
