Ubuntu 18.04 no tweak tool
I am trying to install myself the gnome tweak tool but it is never found!
Thanks for any help :)

Package gnome-tweak-tool is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package 'gnome-tweak-tool' has no installation candidate
Solution 1:
That's because Ubuntu 18.04 ships by default with GNOME 3.28, in which they renamed the gnome-tweak-tool
to gnome-tweaks
. And in the Activities Overview can be found by searching for Tweaks.
If it's not installed then you should be able to install it with:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gnome-tweaks
This is due to Canonical packaging it up like this in order not to confuse users too much with the naming change.
Solution 2:
Since @WinEunuuchs2Unix asked, here's the answer based on @PRATAP help:
sudo apt update;
sudo apt upgrade -y;
sudo apt install gnome-tweaks;
The upgrade part is very important because otherwise the changes from update won't get installed.
