View source for NRPE Installation (Ubuntu 18.04)

The default deployment of Ubuntu 18.04 (Bionic Beaver) does not allow installation of NRPE (package nagios-nrpe-server) without modifying the apt sources.  Trying to install results in the following error
<pre>
me@server:~$ sudo apt install nagios-nrpe-server
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package nagios-nrpe-server
</pre>

In order to fix you need to add the <code>universe</code> component to the OS repository source
# Edit the repository sources file
#* EG <code>sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list</code>
# Append <code>universe</code> to the first line (your file should look like the below)
# Update the local cache
#* <code> sudo apt update </code>
# Install NRPE as normal
#* <code> udo apt install nagios-nrpe-server </code>

<pre>
me@server:~$  cat /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic main universe
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-security main
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-updates main
</pre>
