Hello I try installing rosbridge_suite on ubuntu 18.04 with melodic.

I tried

sudo apt install ros-kinetic-rosbridge-server
sudo apt install ros-indigo-rosbridge-server
sudo apt install ros-melodic-rosbridge-server

and also

sudo apt install ros-kinetic-rosbridge-suite
sudo apt install ros-indigo-rosbridge-suite
sudo apt install ros-melodic-rosbridge-suite

I can't get it. Always the message "Unable to locate package ros-<distro>-rosbridge-suite" or "Unable to locate package ros-<distro>-rosbridge-server".

What I do wrong?

Nothing really, other than not checking whether rosbridge_suite is actually released into ROS Melodic.

As you can see both on the wiki page that you link us to (note how the version selector right under the package name at the top of the page doesn't have a button for melodic), as well as on status_page/ros_melodic_default.html?q=rosbridge, the package(s) simply hasn't (haven't) been released yet for Melodic.

So apt telling you it can't find the package is actually correct.
