I haven't used Ubuntu before, and I made several mistakes in typing. This question has been answered.



Every time I do anything I do anything related to sudo (mostly installing repositories), It says command not found.



I type:



sudo add apt-repository ppa:ppsspp/stable


It then says



sudo:add-apt: command not found


Sometimes it tells me to manually run configure --a, which I do, and it still doesn't work. Anyone know how to fix???



I'm on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
