If I understand correctly, either you install SageMath from source
and then you can use "sage -i ..." to install extra packages,
or you install SageMath from some package manager, e.g. from
the Ubuntu package manager, and then if you want FriCAS you
need to install it on its own, make sure it's in the PATH, and then
Sage should be able to talk to it.
FriCAS does not seem to be packaged in Ubuntu,
https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=sagemath
https://repology.org/metapackage/fricas/versions
but the Fricas documentation page
http://fricas.sourceforge.net/doc/
has links to "install from source" and "install from binaries":
http://fricas.sourceforge.net/doc/INSTALL.txt
http://fricas.sourceforge.net/doc/INSTALL-bin.txt
