E: Unable to locate package steamlink
Hi! I have a Raspberry Pi 3B that I'm trying to install Steam Link on. I almost have a bachelors in CS so I'm no stranger to using the console, but I have very little experience with Linux. Hopefully I have missed something simple as I'm new to this.

When following the instructions on how to install it ( https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=6153-IFGH-6589 ) I get this output:

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo apt update Hit:1 http://mirrordirector.raspbian.org/raspbian stretch InRelease Hit:2 http://archive.raspberrypi.org/debian jessie InRelease Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done All packages are up to date. pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo apt install steamlink Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done E: Unable to locate package steamlink

At first I got this error because I had Jessie installed, and have now updated the OS to Stretch.

This is the content of my os-release file:

PRETTY_NAME="Raspbian GNU/Linux 9 (stretch)" NAME="Raspbian GNU/Linux" VERSION_ID="9" VERSION="9 (stretch)" VERSION_CODENAME=stretch ID=raspbian ID_LIKE=debian HOME_URL="http://www.raspbian.org/" SUPPORT_URL="http://www.raspbian.org/RaspbianForums" BUG_REPORT_URL="http://www.raspbian.org/RaspbianBugs"

However, I still get the same error message. Can you see what is causing this? Did I miss something when installing Stretch? Thanks in advance for your help.

That output is telling me that "steamlink" is not in the raspbian reposiorry. Try this instead.

Thank you, that worked.

Now to buy a power cable that can supply my Pi running Steam Link, haha.
