Hello, i'm trying to install sphinx on debian 8

I tried to follow this guide on mariadb site

https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb/installing-sphinx/

I installed

sudo apt-get install software-properties-common python-software-properties

then:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:builds/sphinxsearch-rel21

But when I try to:

sudo apt-get update

I get the following error:

Err http://ppa.launchpad.net jessie/main amd64 Packages
404 Not Found
Ign http://ppa.launchpad.net jessie/main Translation-en
Fetched 872 B in 1s (466 B/s)
W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/builds/sphinxs ... 4/Packages 404 Not Found

E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

--------

I tried to ignore this error and continue doing:

sudo apt-get install sphinxsearch

But I get these error:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package sphinxsearch

-----------

Does anyone know how to install sphinx on debian 8 with mariadb? Any tips will help.

Thank you.

I want to try this guide from Sphinx Search itself but it has mysql client I don't know if its ok with mariadb

http://sphinxsearch.com/docs/current.ht ... ing-debian

The guide has this command:

sudo apt-get install mysql-client unixodbc libpq5


but I have mariadb I don't if its right. by the way i'm new to linux.

PS. If possible I don't want to compile from source. Any tips will help! Thank you.

I contact the support team they helped me.

apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade
apt-get install unixodbc libpq5 mariadb-client
wget http://sphinxsearch.com/files/sphinxsea ... _amd64.deb
dpkg -i sphinxsearch*.deb
