pkg: Install a package.

$ pkg install ${package}

try on your machine

The command "pkg install ${package}" is used to install a package on a Unix-like operating system. Here, "${package}" is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual name of the package you want to install.

When you run this command, the package manager (such as apt, yum, or pacman) on your operating system will search for the specified package in its repositories. If the package is found, it will be downloaded and installed on your system. The package manager may also handle any dependencies required by the package, ensuring that all necessary components are installed.

For example, if you want to install the "mysql-server" package, you would replace "${package}" in the command with "mysql-server" like this: "pkg install mysql-server". This will initiate the installation process for the MySQL server package.
