The command "sudo a2enmod ${module}" is used to enable Apache modules on a Linux system.

Let's break down the command:

  • "sudo" is used to execute the subsequent command with administrative privileges. It allows the user to run commands as a superuser or another user with the necessary permissions.
  • "a2enmod" is a command-line utility specific to Debian-based systems (such as Ubuntu) that is used to enable Apache modules.
  • "${module}" is a variable placeholder for the name of the specific Apache module that you want to enable. You need to replace "${module}" with the actual name of the module you wish to enable.

By running this command with an appropriate module name, you can enable the specified Apache module on your Linux system.
