Azure DevOps Build Pipeline - Installing Applications

CyberShrimp · ‎Sep 08 2023

I have a Azure Devops Build Pipeline running on a Ubuntu Hosted Agent which requires "unzip" to be installed.

When running the pipeline, I am getting this error which suggests unzip is not installed.

line 23: unzip: command not found

I have tried to install unzip using, but get an error about permissions.

apt-get install -y unzip

Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend - open (13: Permission denied)

I have tried again with sudo, but then get an error about sudo not being installed.

sudo apt-get install -y unzip

line 19: sudo: command not found

So how do I install a package such as unzip (or sudo) as part of the Pipeline Build?

This is the task that I use:

- bash: sudo apt-get install zip unzip -f
