在docker容器里安装vim，提示Unable to locate package vim怎么回事？

首先我们运行一个新的容器

root@ubuntu001:/# docker run -it ubuntu
root@eefb35ca3a74:/# 

 

然后我们查看一下这个容器是否有 vim 命令

root@eefb35ca3a74:/# vim
bash: vim: command not found
root@eefb35ca3a74:/#

可以看到这个镜像本身就没有安装 vim 软件，所以创建出来的容器也就没有 vim 命令

 

下面我们安装一下 vim

root@eefb35ca3a74:/# vim
bash: vim: command not found
root@eefb35ca3a74:/# apt-get install vim

E: Unable to locate package vim
root@eefb35ca3a74:/# 

但无法顺利的进行安装，系统提示了错误 E: Unable to locate package vim

那么如何解决这个问题呢？我们只需要运行 apt-get update 这个命令就可以了

运行完 apt-get update 这个命令后，再执行 apt-get install -y vim 就可以正常进行安装了

如果你感觉下载软件的速度太慢，可以先把 ubuntu 的官方软件源换成国内的
