The command "sudo apt remove ${package}" is used in Linux-based systems (specifically those using the Debian package management system) to remove a specified package.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
-
"sudo" is a command that stands for "superuser do". It allows the user to execute commands as a superuser or root, granting administrative privileges. The user is prompted to enter their password before the command is executed.
-
"apt" is short for "Advanced Package Tool". It is a command-line tool used for package management in Debian-based systems. It enables the user to install, upgrade, or remove software packages.
-
"remove" is an action word that tells apt to remove a specified package.
-
"${package}" is a placeholder variable that represents the name of the package you want to remove. You replace "${package}" with the actual name of the package you wish to delete.
By running this command, the specified package will be uninstalled and removed from your system.
