How to run “sudo apt-get update” through proxy in commandline?

  • In my office I want to update and download through wget and here they are using a proxy. How can I get wget to use the proxy from the command-line?

  • Answer:

    Either export the http_proxy environment variable as in export http_proxy=http://myproxy:port or add Acquire::http::proxy "http://MYNAME:[email protected]:MYPORT" To /etc/apt/apt.conf. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=96802

If your machine is behind a proxy running a Microsoft NTLM based web proxy you may need something like the (python based) http://ntlmaps.sourceforge.net/ to sit between wget/apt-get and the real proxy to do the authentication for you.
