How do I install lmsensors on a server?

I am trying to install lm-sensors on ubuntu server 11.04 with the following command sudo apt-get install lm-sensors, but I am getting the following error:

Error Package lm-sensors has no installation candidate.

I need a program that can show me detailed statistics about temperatures and usage of my components (cpu, ram, hdd) like lm-sensors.

If I cannot install it, exist other option like lm-sensors ?

You will need to enable the Universe repository to install the package.

sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list

remove the # from the beginning of the lines that look something like:

deb natty universe
deb-src natty universe
deb natty-updates universe
deb-src natty-updates universe

Save and then refresh your repository information:

sudo apt-get update

To install the package:

sudo apt-get install lm-sensors
