I am trying to install aircrack but when I try to a get an error message that says unable to locate package. The exact messages are:
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ airmon-ng
The program 'airmon-ng' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install aircrack-ng
You will have to enable the component called 'universe'
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get install aircrack-ng
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package aircrack-ng

I am pretty new to ubuntu so I am not really sure what I am doing. I don't know if I have to enable "universe" or what I should do. I am not sure if it matters but I am also running Ubuntu from my flash drive so maybe that is the problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
