I lost my software center

Question

I wanted to install snap-store, but got this error message:

error:unable to contact snap store

I decided to reinstall snapd, so I ran these commands:

sudo apt-get purge snapd
sudo apt-get autoremove

After that I lost my software center. Is there a way to bring it back? I tried:

sudo apt install software-center

but I got this error message:

E: Package 'software-center' has no installation candidate
