Hello - from https://github.com/tianocore/tianocore.github.io/wiki/Getting-Started-with-EDK-II

The instructions for installing gcc-5 may need some update or additional info. I am trying a quick install into a new WSL2 ubuntu 20x.

sudo apt-get install gcc-5
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package gcc-5 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'gcc-5' has no installation candidate
