swupd: Install a new bundle.
$ sudo swupd bundle-add ${bundle}
try on your machine

The command sudo swupd bundle-add ${bundle} is used to add a software bundle to the system using the swupd command. Here is how each part of the command works:

  • sudo: It is a command used in Linux and Unix-based systems that allows a user with administrative privileges (usually the root user or a user in the sudoers file) to execute a command as another user (typically the superuser or root user). It is used to perform actions that require elevated permissions.

  • swupd: It is a command-line tool used in Clear Linux OS (a Linux distribution developed by Intel) to manage software packages, updates, and bundles. It is primarily used for system package management.

  • bundle-add: It is a subcommand of swupd that is used to add software bundles to the system. A software bundle is a collection of related packages that are grouped together for easy installation and management. Bundles can include applications, libraries, dependencies, and other software components.

  • ${bundle}: It is a placeholder or variable that represents the name of the software bundle you want to add. The ${bundle} needs to be replaced with the actual name of the bundle you wish to install. For example, if you want to add the "development" bundle, the command would be sudo swupd bundle-add development.

In summary, the command sudo swupd bundle-add ${bundle} allows you to add a software bundle to the system in Clear Linux OS using elevated permissions. This command is useful for installing specific groups of software packages for development, graphical environments, server applications, or any other purpose.
