Did you update the apt cache? sudo apt update Then sudo apt install screen If you're root though you don't need sudo. However if you're logging in as root remotely you should disable that for security and log in as a regular user then use sudo or su to root. Hopefully you're logging in with keys and have disabled password logins. >
