pkcon: Install a package.
$ pkcon install ${package}
try on your machine
The command "pkcon install ${package}" is used to install a package on a Linux system using the PackageKit package manager.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
- "pkcon" is the command-line tool for interacting with the PackageKit package manager.
- "install" is the action to be performed, indicating that the package is to be installed.
- "${package}" is a placeholder for the name of the package you want to install. The actual name of the package should be substituted in place of "${package}".
To use this command, you need to replace ${package} with the name of the package you want to install. For example, if you want to install the package called "firefox", the command would be: "pkcon install firefox".
This command will then use PackageKit to search for and install the specified package, automatically handling dependencies and any other requirements.
