opam: Install a package and all of its dependencies.
$ opam install ${package_name}
try on your machine

This command is used to install a package using OPAM (OCaml Package Manager) with a specified package name.

OPAM is a package manager for OCaml and it provides an easy way to install, manage, and switch between different versions of packages and libraries in the OCaml ecosystem.

The format of the command is:

opam install ${package_name}

Here, ${package_name} is a placeholder for the actual name of the package you want to install. You should replace ${package_name} with the specific package name you want to install.

By running this command, OPAM will search for the package in its package repository and install it along with any necessary dependencies. If the package is already installed, OPAM will ensure that it is up to date.

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.
