The SSH server is not installed by default on Ubuntu desktop systems but it can be easily installed from the standard Ubuntu repositories.

To install and enable SSH on your Ubuntu system complete the following steps:

Open your terminal either by using the Ctrl+Alt+T keyboard shortcut or by clicking on the terminal icon and install the openssh-server package by typing:

sudo apt update

sudo apt install openssh-server

Once the installation is completed, the SSH service will start automatically. To verify that the installation was successful and SSH service is running type the following command which will print the SSH server status:

sudo systemctl status ssh

sudo ufw allow ssh
