    Have you enabled the `universe` repository? – steeldriver Jan 25 '22 at 13:48
  • @steeldriver No. How can I enable it ? – user1642683 Jan 25 '22 at 13:49

    If you really have fresh installation of 20.10, then it should be noted that it is EOL. Reinstall supported release - 20.04 LTS or 21.10 instead. About Joe - it is available from `joe` and `joe-jupp` [packages](https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=impish&arch=amd64&mode=exactfilename&searchon=contents&keywords=joe). So you need to run `sudo apt-get update` on supported Ubuntu release followed by `sudo apt-get install joe` or `sudo apt-get install joe-jupp` . – N0rbert Jan 25 '22 at 13:55
  • See [How do I enable the "Universe" repository?](https://askubuntu.com/questions/148638/how-do-i-enable-the-universe-repository). Also ["Unable to locate package" while trying to install packages with APT](https://askubuntu.com/questions/378558/unable-to-locate-package-while-trying-to-install-packages-with-apt) is worth a read. – steeldriver Jan 25 '22 at 13:55
  • Ubuntu 20.10 (along with all flavors) is *End-of-Life* and thus unsupported on this site (https://askubuntu.com/help/on-topic), and many other Ubuntu sites, unless your question is specific to moving to a supported release of Ubuntu. https://fridge.ubuntu.com/2021/06/18/ubuntu-20-10-groovy-gorilla-reaches-end-of-life-on-july-22-2021/ https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades – guiverc Jan 25 '22 at 21:13

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
