xampp is not in ubuntu repository. You must download the installer from the xampp website, and follow their instructions.

To resume with command lines:

$ wget https://www.apachefriends.org/xampp-files/5.6.15/xampp-linux-x64-5.6.15-1-installer.run
$ chmod 755 xampp-linux-*-installer.run
$ sudo ./xampp-linux-*-installer.run

See https://www.apachefriends.org/faq_linux.html

xampp is not in the default Ubuntu repository, you can check this :

sudo apt-cache search xampp

you need to either install it manually or add a PPA

Update: (apparently there is no working PPA for xampp anymore) You have the full instructions, step by step in this blog post: Install Latest Xampp 7.0.2 on Linux Ubuntu Derivative System:

for 32bit:

 wget https://www.apachefriends.org/xampp-files/7.0.2/xampp-linux-7.0.2-1-installer.run && sudo chmod +x xampp-linux-7.0.2-1-installer.run && sudo ./xampp-linux-7.0.2-1-installer.run

for 64bit:

wget https://www.apachefriends.org/xampp-files/7.0.2/xampp-linux-x64-7.0.2-1-installer.run && sudo chmod +x xampp-linux-x64-7.0.2-1-installer.run && sudo ./xampp-linux-x64-7.0.2-1-installer.run
