apt-get install is not working in WSL

Solution 1:

Executed below 2 commands and then I was able to install the packages.

sudo apt update    
sudo apt install python3-pip

System: Windows 10 Enterprise, Ubuntu Windows Subsystem for Linux.

I ran this command:

sudo apt-get install dos2unix

I had this error:

E: Unable to locate package dos2unix

I then ran:

sudo apt-get update

and then:

sudo apt-get install dos2unix

and it installed properly.
