Hey guys, i’m trying to install fish into osmc. I’m trying apt update && apt install fish but it don’t work, how i can do?

I don’t believe fish is available in the Jessie repo, due to security issues it was dropped by Debian. Although this may have changed since:

You can try building it from source but no, it isn’t in the repository.

Hi thymbahutymba,

I’m not sure if this work or is even recommended on osmc. But it seems fish is now jessie-backports:
https://packages.debian.org/jessie-backports/fish

If you wish to install fish from backports, back up your sd card before proceeding.

head over to: https://github.com/superjamie/lazyweb/wiki/Raspberry-Pi-Debian-Backports
for a general overview.

Thanks Tom.

P.S

Forget to mention:

It’s recommended you remove jessie-backports from deb sources after installing fish, as leaving it may break future osmc updates.
