The command sudo deb-get search ${package}
is likely incorrect or it may contain a typo. The correct command should be sudo apt-get search ${package}
.

sudo
allows executing the command with administrative privileges.apt-get
is a package handling utility used in Debian-based systems to install, upgrade, and manage software packages.search
is an apt-get sub-command that is used to search for package names and descriptions in the repository.${package}
is a placeholder variable that needs to be replaced with the actual package name you want to search for. It could be a specific software package name or a keyword relevant to the package you are looking for.
To use the command correctly, you would replace ${package}
with the actual package name or keyword you want to search for. For example, if you want to search for packages related to the Apache web server, you would use sudo apt-get search apache
.
