abroot: Install specific packages in the host inside the transactional shell in the future root partition and switch to it on the next boot.
$ sudo abroot exec apt install ${package1 package2 ---}
try on your machine

This command is using the "sudo" command to run another command with administrative privileges. The "sudo" command is used in Unix-based systems to give temporary superuser or root access to a user.

In this case, the command being executed with root privileges is "abroot exec apt install ${package1 package2 ---}". Let's break down this command further:

  • "abroot" is likely a custom command or script being executed.
  • "exec" is an option or argument for the "abroot" command, specifying that the following command should be executed.
  • "apt" is the package management command in Linux-based systems like Ubuntu, used for installing, upgrading, or removing software packages.
  • "install" is an argument for the "apt" command, indicating that the following packages should be installed.
  • "${package1 package2 ---}" is likely a placeholder for a list of package names to be installed. The actual package names should be provided here.

The "---" at the end of the command may be used as a separator or placeholder, indicating that the list of package names is complete.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
