Yum is not getting installed

yum

I was trying to install yum on my ubuntu 14.04 and to use libcgroup in fedora, to install the required packages I used 

$ sudo yum install libcgroup libcgroup-tools

It throws an error

There are no enabled repos.
Run "yum repolist all" to see the repos you have.
You can enable repos with yum-config-manager –enable
test@test-desktop:~$ yum repolist all
repolist: 0

Anyone has any solution to this?

Add the following repositories.

sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu $(lsb_release -sc) universe"

To enable all ubuntu software (main universe restricted multiverse) repositories use

sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu $(lsb_release -sc) main universe restricted multiverse"

you can add also partner repository with different link (see difference is ubuntu to canonical)

sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu $(lsb_release -sc) partner"

Then update the package list:

sudo apt-get update

then sudo apt-get install pakagename like

sudo apt-get install libcgroup

p.s.

for all differences in repositories read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu
