so I am VERY new to linux, and I am running into some n00b issues on my Ubuntu pc when I try to install new programs to install steam via the terminal I would type:

 

sudo apt-get install steam

 

how would I do this for a program with a space in the name? say team viewer.

 

sudo apt-get install team_viewer    

 

 

because this returns 

 

 

E: Unable to locate package viewer
 
 
I KNOW I could use the easy software "app store" but it seems to be missing a lot of the programs I have come to know and love on windows.  
 
 
I am using Ubuntu 14.04
 
Thanks

its the command is.

sudo apt-get install steam

you are forgetting "install"

 

if its a 2 letter app just type

sudo apt-get install team

but then hit tab after you type team and it will list all the apps with team in the name.

thanks, thats what I get for tryign to do it wothout looking ha. but now its telling me:

 

 Display all 45687 possibilities? (y or n)

Try using "aptitude search keyword" so for example "aptitude search team"

 

EDIT: Team viewer doesn't seem to exists on the Ubuntu repos. You are going to have to install the manual way. Here is the documentation to do so, https://www.teamviewer.com/en/help/363-How-do-I-install-TeamViewer-on-my-Linux-distribution.aspx
