Ubuntu 18.04 is from April 2018, and installing SageMath
with "apt-get install" you get the version of SageMath
packaged at the time: SageMath 8.1, released 2017-12.

Sage has made tremendous progress since 8.1,
including moving to Python 3 (instead of Python 2
which has now reached end of support).

I would recommend installing SageMath 9.2 or later.
This can be done using one of the following methods:

- download a binary for Ubuntu 18.04 from
  https://www.sagemath.org/download-linux.html
  
- install with Conda
  https://doc.sagemath.org/html/en/installation/conda.html

- build from source
  https://doc.sagemath.org/html/en/installation/source.html

- Use Docker or Podman
  (can someone point to a relevant webpage?)

Please ask any follow-up question here.   --Samuel
