Fresh install getting error: Unable to locate package Zabbix-xxxxxxxx

[Tufyuma]

I'm ok with Linux but not great....
using Lubuntu (but had the same issue on Ubuntu Server, which i would prefer to use).
Installed Dependencies without issue: apache, php, mariadb, mysql.
Zabbix repository seemed to work fine:
# wget https://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/7.0/u...u24.04_all.deb
# dpkg -i zabbix-release_latest+ubuntu24.04_all.deb
# apt update

The problem comes when i try to "install zabbix server, frontend, agent.
root@xxxxx:/home/xx# apt install zabbix-server-mysql zabbix-frontend-php zabbix-apache-conf zabbix-sql-scripts zabbix-agent
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package zabbix-server-mysql
E: Unable to locate package zabbix-agent


Can anyone point me in the correct direction.

install info:
root@xxxxx:/home/xxxx# cat /etc/os-release

I even tried rebooting, but still getting E: Unable to locate package zabbix-server-mysql

Thanks, I think i got a step farther, though!

I decided to do a fresh install of Ubuntu Server and things seem to be running better, will report back when I am sure it's working.

I finally got it working on Ubuntu Server.
I had to run what Donkey suggested (sudo apt install mysql-server mysql-client) between steps 2b and 2c

Then when I ran (in step 2d) : zcat /usr/share/zabbix-sql-scripts/mysql/server.sql.gz | mysql --default-character-set=utf8mb4 -uzabbix -p zabbix
I may have gotten impatient, a time or two, there is no status or anything to tell you it's running, I got sidetracked and later noticed that it was at # and had finished!
I can now log into the gui, so now i just have to teach myself how to use it!

Thanks for your help Donkey, it really was the piece I was missing!
