What is checking package info in Linux?

Checking package info in Linux involves examining details about installed packages on your system. This can include information such as version number, description, dependencies, and more. Different Linux distributions have their own package management systems, and the command used will depend on that system.

Example


        # For Debian-based systems (like Ubuntu)
        apt show package_name
        
        # For Red Hat-based systems (like Fedora)
        dnf info package_name
        
        # For Arch-based systems
        pacman -Qi package_name
