I have recently installed Edubuntu in my school computer lab computers so that the students can become familiar with the Linux environment. It's going well except I tried to install the Basic 256 application in Edubuntu, but I am facing problems with it.

The terminal commands which I used are shown below:

saint@saint-System-Product-Name:~$ sudo apt install basic256
[sudo] password for saint: 
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package basic256
saint@saint-System-Product-Name:~$

It seems that a package is available for Ubuntu, you can just do

sudo apt install basic256

You may have to enable universe repository in order to download this software.
