Hi, im having some trouble using ddgr in Ubuntu 20,04.1 (windows subsystem for linux), when i use ddgr like this:

ddgr wikipedia

I got this:

No results.

ddgr

I installed ddgr and complements with:

sudo apt-get install ddgr
sudo apt-get install elinks
sudo apt-get install lynx
sudo apt-get install python3 python3-requests

I even clone the code from github and installed it, but it said i already had it.

My python3 version is 3.8.3 and i also have miniconda 3 with the same python version

Do you think i would help to mention the program version you are using?

Anyway, try the latest release or master.

jarun commented 3 years ago

The Ubuntu 20.04 default ddgr version (v1.7 looks like) is dated. Please install manually or using PyPi.

GJoe2 commented 3 years ago

Sorry, i forgot to mention the version version

ddgr/focal,now 1.7+git20190928.bccdc92-2 all [installed] What do you think i forgot?

jarun commented 3 years ago

Yes, that one is broken. Use v1.9.

GJoe2 commented 3 years ago

Thank you, 1.9 works ! I wonder why ubuntu looks for 1.7 , I guess it doesnt matter

It's a big question. You have to get acquainted to Ubuntu release strategy and post-release update strategy, i am not familiar with those either.
