Unable to locate package steamcmd

I'm trying to install steamcmd on a Ubuntu 16.04 LTS server, but when running sudo apt-get install steamcmd it errors out with

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package steamcmd

I've already updated and upgraded. How can I resolve this problem?

Solution 1:

Ok, I found the answer myself.

First I needed to add multiverse to my /etc/apt/sources.list:

deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial main universe multiverse
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-updates main universe multiverse
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-security main universe multiverse

afterwards I added the i386 architecture:

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386

now after an apt-get update I am able to install it.

sudo apt-get install steamcmd

Solution 2:

Run these commands:

sudo add-apt-repository multiverse 
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install lib32gcc1 steamcmd

Hope this will help. Or you can check source here:
