Installing Basic 256 on Edubuntu

Question

I have recently installed Edubuntu in my school computer lab computers so that the students can become familiar with the Linux environment. It's going well except I tried to install the Basic 256 application in Edubuntu, but I am facing problems with it.

The terminal commands which I used are shown below:

saint@saint-System-Product-Name:~$ sudo apt install basic256
[sudo] password for saint: 
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package basic256
saint@saint-System-Product-Name:~$

Welcome to Ask Ubuntu! Could you please add a little more detail? What exactly did you do, what did you expect to happen and what happened instead? Did you encounter any warning or error messages? Please reproduce them in their entirety in your question. You can select, copy and paste terminal content and most dialogue messages in Ubuntu. Please [edit] your post to add information instead of posting a comment. (see How do I ask a good question?) — David Foerster, Aug 15 '18 at 21:33

It seems that a package is available for Ubuntu, you can just do

sudo apt install basic256

You may have to enable universe repository in order to download this software.

As described on the official guide, open *Software and updates* app and tick Community-maintained free and open-source software (universe). – ob2 Aug 14 '18 at 15:20

Can you refresh the list of available package with apt update and then do apt install basic256. – ob2 Aug 16 '18 at 07:16
