What is Universe repository in Ubuntu?

Universe – Community-Maintained, Open-Source Software

The vast majority of the software in the Ubuntu Software Center comes from the Universe repository. These packages are either automatically imported from the latest version of Debian or uploaded and maintained by the Ubuntu community.

How do I enable universe in Ubuntu?

First, open software center. Click on ‘edit’ and then ‘software sources’ to open the software sources window. Once that is open, check the box that says, “Community-maintained free and open-source software (universe).” Now, all the universe packages should show up in software center just like all the other ones.
