Hey Phil,

Some other process where holding apt’s lock when you tried to install. Simply re-run the install and you should be fine.

Yes, most likely update is running on the background. Please visit Disable Automatic Updates on Ubuntu as a possible solution. Also make sure that you have Not initiated apt upgrade or apt install session on some other terminals as this may also cause Could not get lock error.

However, as @sandmann mentioned. Simply wait and re-run the apt install command again.
