I assume you're following this YDLiDAR manual or similar, but the turtlebot-rviz-launchers package is indeed outdated (its GitHub repo was last updated 6 years ago). The YDLiDAR GitHub documentation is a more up-to-date resource.
As a side note, RViz is installed with the desktop ROS installations, so you may already have it. If you don't have RViz from the ROS install and need it, Solrac3589's command is correct:
sudo apt-get install ros-melodic-rviz

Thank you for GitHub informations, but ofcourse had it allready. Step5 and step6 is interesting for reviewing my installation. The main problem is still what I wrote before to Solrac3589. If it works, I keep you informed.

If there is a problem with the instructions on YDLidar's GitHub, I strongly recommend troubleshooting that rather than the out-dated package installation, but the choice is obviously yours to make. Installing a package from a different ROS version may work if it's not too complex. Good luck!

Sorry it is in German, but use DeepL for translation.
I tried this so many times, I can't know. Where to start...
Do you need a special logfile for more infos ?

I find very impolite to throw here the issue in german and just say "use a traductor". if you ask for help, waste a little more time properly adding the issue.
I don't understand why you use this command to install RVIZ, when i did not saw any tutorial using it (and actually this is not rviz raw) it seems like a very old package which maybe is deprecated in melodic. if you want to install rviz, just try:
If you are using this specific command for something, give us the tutorial you are trying to use.

If it would be so easy to use your suggesstion, I would NOT have posted it here. I really tried everything and my investigation come to the result that only:
sudo apt-get install ros-indigo-turtlebot-rviz
may be is possible, but I didn't tested it right now.
