Currently i am using an instance on Google cloud platform and in Ubuntu 16.04 I am able to install p7zip to extract .7z files, but on Ubuntu 18.04 I get the following error:

Package p7zip-full is not available, but is referred to by another
package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been
obsoleted, or is only available from another source

E: Package 'p7zip-full' has no installation candidate

Bearing in mind that I do not have a GUI, do I have any other option to extract .7z archives in Ubuntu 18.04?

I tried to install it using this command

sudo apt-get install p7zip-full

But it does not work for 18.04.
