I was following the link GMate and Using Gedit as a Ruby IDE to make my Gedit as IDE. But when all the command was running good,the below one throwing me an error.

kirti@kirti-Aspire-5733Z:~$ sudo apt-get install gedit-gmate
[sudo] password for kirti:

Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package gedit-gmate

  1. To install GMate, you have first to add the right PPA. To do so, just press Ctrl+Alt+T on your keyboard to open Terminal. When it opens, run the commands below:

    sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ubuntu-on-rails/ppa
sudo apt-get update

    Once that is done. then you can run:

    sudo apt-get install gedit-gmate

    See image below:

  2. This is not an elegant solution but it worked for me. Replace 'raring' with 'quantal' in the following file and try again:

    sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu-on-rails-ppa-raring.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gedit-gmate
