So for example, if you use Debian a line like: deb jessie main contrib would become to deb jessie main contrib non-free The same for Ubuntu: deb xenial main restricted would become to deb xenial main restricted universe After this you have to do a: sudo apt-get update You can of course use graphical ways to enable non-free or universe.
