There are a couple of ways to get this done. Ubuntu now has BCC and its related tools right in the official repositories.
Ubuntu Official Packages
You can install like you would any other package:
shuveb@damascus:~$ sudo apt install bcc bpfcc-tools
Here are links to file lists for bcc and for bpfcc-tools.
IOVisor Repository
Just like how you might have got it done in Ubuntu 16.04, you can install it via Iovisor’s Ubuntu repository. See the following session:
shuveb@damascus:~$ echo "deb [trusted=yes] https://repo.iovisor.org/apt/bionic bionic-nightly main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/iovisor.list deb [trusted=yes] https://repo.iovisor.org/apt/bionic bionic-nightly main
