How to install joint_state_publisher_GUI in melodic version of ROS?

When i tried to install jointstatepublisher package in kinetic it also installed jointstatepublisher_gui along with that. But No commands available for installing packages are helping to install the gui package in melodic.

No commands available for installing packages are helping to install the gui package in melodic.

Can you clarify this please ? If you said that installing joint_state_publisher also installed joint_state_publisher_gui then you don't need to install it anymore.

Do you mean that sudo apt install ros-melodic-joint-state-publisher-gui isn't working ?
