I’m trying to install GCC in Ubuntu. When I type sudo apt-get instal gcc asks for a password, but I can’t enter the password. What might be the problem?

linux gcc

  • The password does not appear (neither the dots or "*") but you are typing it, it is normal, type the password and press enter

  • but when I try to type nothing happens, nor appears ***

  • It’s normal Gabriela, as I told you in the above... read what I told you

  • In the linux terminal nothing appears when you type the password, but is typing yes.

For security measures, when you execute the command sudo on Linux, the Terminal asks you to enter your password without feedback visual while you type. Even if no character appears while you type your password, you are actually typing it.

Enter the password and press Enter to watch the magic happen.

In case you feel uncomfortable about it, there are ways to make the ***, but it would be at the user’s own risk. See that article taught how to do.
