Does this answer your question? How do I enable the "Universe" repository? ← for successful pcl-tools package installation, or please add details. — N0rbert, Sep 15 '21 at 15:25

This repository is from 2017 year, but now is 2021.

So I would recommend to use python3-pcl package from official repositories as follows:

sudo apt-get install python3-pcl pcl-tools

And then use code from the repository:

sudo apt-get install git
cd ~/Downloads
git clone https://github.com/udacity/RoboND-Perception-Exercises.git
cd RoboND-Perception-Exercises
check Exercise-1
cd Exercise-1/
python3 RANSAC.py

Please note that for Exercise-2 and Exercise-3 you need some ROS-specific packages for pcl_rosConfig.cmake. Start with

sudo apt-get install cmake catkin python3-catkin libdynamic-reconfigure-config-init-mutex-dev libpcl-conversions-dev
