18.04 apt-get install python3-netcdf4

Question

When trying to install the package python3-netcdf4, I get the error

E:  Unable to locate package python3-netcdf4

I have tried to update, but the package is not found.
Where do I find it?

apt-cache policy python3-netcdf4 
   python3-netcdf4: 
      Installed: (none) 
      Candidate: 1.3.1-1 
      Version table:

Add output of sudo apt-get install python3-netcdf4=1.3.1-1 to the question text. — N0rbert, Oct 05 '18 at 21:02
If apt policy finds it, it should be found when you apt install it. Have you re-tried? Might you have made a typo? — Zanna, Oct 06 '18 at 17:34

Change directories to your desktop, download python3-netcdf4, and install it. Open the terminal and type:

cd ~/Desktop/
apt download python3-netcdf4  
sudo apt-get install ./python3-netcdf4_1.3.1-1_amd64.deb
