Unable to Locate Package python-pandas

I am running Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. To install the Python pandas library, I ran

sudo apt-get install python-pandas 

The output was as follows:

Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done E: Unable to locate package python-pandas 

Why can the package not be located?

Enable universe repository by executing:

sudo add-apt-repository universe

sudo apt-get update

Or by using the Software & Updates application:

Then execute:

sudo apt-get install python-pandas

You may use Ubuntu Software Center instead:

Starting from Ubuntu 16.04, the python3 package version is available with the name python3-pandas.

You can use sudo apt-get install python3-pandas to install it.
