PPA Download - Command Not Found

[pebble2]

Hi, 

I am brand new to Linux and have tried to follow the quickstart instructions.

I have steam, wine and RCT2 downloaded. I then tried to install Open RCT2 from the PPA but I can't get past the first line...

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:openrct2/nightly

Entering this just gives me the following message "sudo: add-apt-repository: command not found"

Apologies for what I assume is a stupid question. 

Is anyone able to help me, or point in the right direction?

Thanks

You followed a guide for Ubuntu and its derivatives, like Linux Mint. The error message suggests that you are using a different Linux distribution.

In order to help you, we will need to know your Linux distribution. (This applies in general - when asking help with Linux, always mention your distribution.)

My Linux distribution is Debian. The section I was following was labelled as being for 'Debian, Ubuntu, Mint'

The PPA can usually be made to work on Debian. But you'll need to specify your version of Debian.

Debian 10 (buster) is the version that I have:

Distributor ID: Debian
Description:    Debian GNU/Linux 10 (buster)
Release:        10
Codename:       buster

Try the following:

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys BF69432E6A3929E2428A1418F4241060A4EC1B27
sudo apt install software-properties-common
sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/openrct2/nightly/ubuntu bionic main"
sudo apt install openrct2

After trying that I get this message at the end: 

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 openrct2 : Depends: libduktape202 but it is not installable
                   Depends: libicu60 (>= 60.1-1~) but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

 

A google search seemed to suggest these lines: 

sudo apt install --fix-broken
sudo apt-get update

The only bit that jumped out at me was then - Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default.
