Describe the bug
The README recommends the user runs:

sudo apt install imagemagick

but this fails on a clean Ubuntu installation because the main and universe repositories are not enabled:

E: Package 'imagemagick' has no installation candidates

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Download Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS live image ISO
Create a clean VM and run the live image
Follow the t-rec installation steps from the README

Expected behavior
Installation should be completed without error.

I believe the README could be extended to enable the main and universe repositories:

sudo add-apt-repository main
sudo add-apt-repository universe
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install imagemagick

This only applies on the live environment. On an actual installation of Ubuntu, those parts of the Ubuntu repo are enabled by default.
