Joe is part of the universe repository, so you will need to first enable that via the console:

sudo add-apt-repository universe

Once this is done, update apt:

sudo apt update

Now you can install Joe:

sudo apt install joe

    Umm … Groovy Gorilla is an EOL release of Ubuntu. You’ll need to use 18.04, 20.04, or 21.10 if you would like to install packages – matigo Jan 25 '22 at 14:00
  • Can I update my instalation or shall I undergoe the heavy path with installing my Ubuntu ? – user1642683 Jan 25 '22 at 14:03
  • It’s no longer possible to upgrade from 20.10, so you’ll need to download a supported ISO from Ubuntu.com and follow the same steps as you did earlier today to build the VM. Consider it practise – matigo Jan 25 '22 at 14:10
