How to install PHP-FPM on Clean Install of Ubuntu 18.04 Server

Question

I am trying to install a LEMP stack on a clean install of Ubuntu Server 18.04. I was able to get through installing everything except php-fpm. It does not appear to be in the package repository even though every single instruction site (though it looks like everyone stole theirs from one site) on installing LEMP on 18.04 says to install it. Any idea on how to get it installed or an alternate to php-fpm?

Solution

It appears that it is not enabled by default on the server edition at least. Not surprised. Just not used to that since I have been running the desktop version for years.

sudo add-apt-repository universe
