dnf: Install a new package (use `-y` to confirm all prompts automatically).

$ sudo dnf install ${package1 package2 ---}

try on your machine

This command is a variation of the sudo dnf install command used in some Linux distributions, such as Fedora. The dnf command is a package manager that allows users to install, update, and manage software packages.

The specific command sudo dnf install ${package1 package2 ---} suggests that you can install multiple packages at once. You would typically replace ${package1 package2 ---} with the names of the packages you wish to install, separated by spaces. For example, if you want to install packages named package1 and package2, the command would look like sudo dnf install package1 package2.

The use of sudo before the dnf command implies that you need administrative privileges to perform the installation. By using sudo, you are requesting temporary superuser access to execute the command with administrative rights.

Overall, this command is used to install one or more software packages on a Linux system using the dnf package manager, while also gaining temporary administrative privileges via sudo if required.
