enabling component called universe

[capo10]

I just installed BT5 but im having an issue when i run "apt-get install basket" and i get the following error:
The program 'basket' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
apt-get install basket
You will have to enable the component called 'universe'

so my question is how to enable the component called universe???

You must be blind, cause I found the answer just by looking at the 1st, 2nd and 3rd links, and I'm sure the answer can be found on hundreds of other results.

To everyone else who *did* Google for how to resolve this (and that's how they found themselves on this thread), in recent versions of Ubuntu:

Go to:
System Administration -> Add/Remove Software -> Settings -> Edit Software Sources

check the box: community maintained open source software (universe)


Telling people to Google when they already did is kind of silly, does anyone actually use forum search anymore?
