apk: Install a new package.
$ apk add ${package}
try on your machine
The command "apk add ${package}" is used in Alpine Linux to install a package from the Alpine package repository.
Here, "${package}" is a placeholder for the name of the package you want to install. When running the command, you need to replace "${package}" with the actual name of the package you want to install.
For example, if you want to install the package "nginx", the command would be: "apk add nginx".
The "apk" command is the package manager for Alpine Linux and "add" is one of its sub-commands, used to install packages. By running this command, Alpine Linux will connect to the package repository, download and install the specified package, along with its dependencies if any.
