      Please don't include pictures of text, we cannot copy/paste from pictures - so include text. I can't check as I can't copy - but python should be all lower case (note: as I couldn't copy/paste due to picture - I didn't look for other errors)

    @Gulzar The reason for the error message is that 16.04 is end of life. For the solution to this error message please read the answers to How to install software or upgrade from an old unsupported release?.
