Can someone please help me to install Incrond on my Ubuntu server, I tried all possible ways as I found on the web but nothing works.

sudo apt-get install incron

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package incrond

I need to install the file system watcher for some of my automization scripts to work.

Thank you in advance.

Info: Yes the solution was the universe repository but in my case I wasn't aware which repository is responsible for incron, so it will be helpful to keep it separate.

Make sure that your apt source list file /etc/apt/sources.list contains universe.

deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic main restricted universe multiverse

Install incron package.

sudo apt update
sudo apt install incron

  • It is part of universe repo list provided in Ubuntu by default. Can you check universe is there in apt source list file /etc/apt/sources.list ? – KK Patel Oct 15 '18 at 12:13
