apt - "Unable to locate package" error in Ubuntu 18.04 on Windows 10


I activated the Bash shell on Windows 10 (with the new update on Windows 10 which offers a Linux Bash shell).


The installation was a success, but I can't install anything...
When I ran, for example


sudo apt-get install cmatrix

it returned


Unable to locate package cmatrix

Can somebody help me with this?
