Install libapache2-mod-fastcgi to Debian 8 Jessie

Question

For supporting FastCGI feature into Apache web-server need to install libapache2-mod-fastcgi system package. The package is unavailable in default sources. How to install this package into Debian 8 Jessie?

Solution

Check that the non-free repository is enabled by inspecting /etc/apt/sources.list.

sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list

If non-free is not included then modify the file so that it does.

deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian  main non-free

Update your system.

sudo apt-get update

You can now install the package :

sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-fastcgi

@karavanjo, don't do this; install libapache2-mod-fcgid instead (which is available in Debian proper). It's API-compatible with -fastcgi, has no licensing problems and has better support in Debian.
