How to add an entry to a file?

novaglider · 03-13-2016, 03:37 PM

I am new to linux and while installing Docker https://docs.docker.com/engine/insta...x/ubuntulinux/ I got stuck at step 7.

So I am trying to add deb https://apt.dockerproject.org/repo ubuntu-wily main to the docker.list file I created yet nothing seems to work the way it should.

I tried this: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/unix-li...ext-to-a-file/
and this: http://unix.stackexchange.com/questi...-the-last-line
and several more yet the closest I get is:

Code:

mitja@mitja-N73SV:/etc/apt/sources.list.d$ sudo echo 'deb https://apt.dockerproject.org/repo ubuntu-wily main' >>docker.list
bash: docker.list: Permission denied

are you trying to add an entry to a file?

Quote:

Open the file in your favorite editor.

$ sudo geany <or your favorite editor> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list
If the file doesn’t exist, create it.

Remove any existing entries.

Add an entry for your Ubuntu operating system.

as you see here you have NO editor with root privileges
right here

Code:

mitja@mitja-N73SV:/etc/apt/sources.list.d$ sudo echo 'deb https://apt.dockerproject.org/repo ubuntu-wily main' >>docker.list
bash: docker.list: Permission denied
