I'm trying to install mkchromecast.
Following the instructions on the website, I first tried:
$ sudo apt-get install mkchromecast Which returned:
Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done E: Unable to locate package mkchromecast When this didn't work, I downloaded the .deb and tried this:
$ sudo dpkg -i mkchromecast_0.3.6-3_all.deb and got the following response:
Selecting previously unselected package mkchromecast. (Reading database ... 244586 files and directories currently installed.) Preparing to unpack mkchromecast_0.3.6-3_all.deb ...

Errors were encountered while processing: mkchromecast A few Google searches led me to try:
sudo gdebi mkchromecast_0.3.6-3_all.deb Which returned:
Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Reading state information... Done This package is uninstallable Dependency is not satisfiable: python-pychromecast So I downloaded the python-pychromecast.deb and:
sudo gdebi python-pychromecast_0.7.7-2_all.deb But it seems the right version of python-protobuf is not installed:
Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Reading state information... Done This package is uninstallable Dependency is not satisfiable: python-protobuf (>= 3) However, if I run:
sudo apt-get install python-protobuf It tells me it already is on the newest version:
Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done python-protobuf is already the newest version (2.6.1-1.3). 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. Therefore I forced an install of the right version with:
sudo -H pip install --upgrade protobuf==3.2.0 But this gives this response:
Requirement already up-to-date: protobuf==3.2.0 in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/protobuf-3.2.0-py2.7.egg Requirement already up-to-date: six>=1.9 in /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages (from protobuf==3.2.0) Requirement already up-to-date: setuptools in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages (from protobuf==3.2.0) Requirement already up-to-date: appdirs>=1.4.0 in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages (from setuptools->protobuf==3.2.0) Requirement already up-to-date: packaging>=16.8 in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages (from setuptools->protobuf==3.2.0) Requirement already up-to-date: pyparsing in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages (from packaging>=16.8->setuptools->protobuf==3.2.0) Which leads me to believe version >= 3 should be installed...
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
