[SOLVED] Can't install cx_Freeze on linux mint?

Issue

Trying to install the the third-party Python module cx_Freeze on linux mint for python 3.8, keep getting this error:

dc@dc-ThinkPad2-T470:~/PycharmProjects/untitled$ sudo apt-get install python3-cx_Freeze
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package python3-cx_Freeze

This method of installation with sudo apt-get install has worked smoothly for me for other third party modules such as Pillow, don't know why not working for cx_Freeze. Would greatly appreciate a helpful answer, been trying to install for hours. Thanks

Solution

You can try any one of the following command based on your pip version

pip install cx-Freeze
pip3 install cx-Freeze

It worked for me. I am using Linux Mint 20.1
