How do I enable the “Universe” repository?

I recently downloaded Ubuntu from the microsoft store, and I am looking to install fdupes to get rid of a bunch of duplicate files I have. When i try to install, i'm met with:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package fdupes
I have looked around but I have no clue how to download the package or any basic Ubuntu options, I am completely new to this. I also only have the terminal window downloaded from the microsoft store. Additionally, if i try to update, i get the error that it cannot reach the archive or security URLs listed.
Please Help

Users with the apt badge can single-handedly close apt questions as duplicates and reopen them as needed.
StackExchange.ready(function() {
if (StackExchange.options.isMobile) return;
$('.dupe-hammer-message-hover:not(.hover-bound)').each(function() {
var $hover = $(this).addClass('hover-bound'),
$msg = $hover.siblings('.dupe-hammer-message');
$hover.hover(
function() {
$hover.showInfoMessage('', {
messageElement: $msg.clone().show(),
transient: false,
position: { my: 'bottom left', at: 'top center', offsetTop: -7 },
dismissable: false,
relativeToBody: true
});
},
function() {
StackExchange.helpers.removeMessages();
}

I don't think WSL is 18.04-capable yet.fdupesis only present in Bionic, so unless you have 18.04 WSL, I don't think you can easily getfdupesin the environment without compiling itself. (Not able to reach the URLs points at a different issue that is outside the scope of the "HOw do I install fdupes" question)
