18.04 server - unable to locate package redis-server












0















I installed a fresh install of 18.04 server. The package redis-server does not seem to be installable. I'm not sure why:



$ sudo apt install redis-server
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package redis-server


the package doesnt appear to exist:



$ sudo apt-cache search redis
miscfiles - Dictionaries and other interesting files
python-redis - Persistent key-value database with network interface (Python library)
resource-agents - Cluster Resource Agents


I have run apt update. I'm guessing its missing a repository of packages, but since this is a fresh install, I'm not sure why it would be missing one, or how to fix it.



root@:/etc/newrelic# sudo apt-get install nri-redis 
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package nri-redis

As a commenter noted, the universe package was not enabled. Enabling with add-apt-repository did the trick:



sudo add-apt-repository universe
