tasksel is a command line tool in Debian and Ubuntu that allows you to install groups of packages that are commonly used together for a specific task, such as LAMP server or DNS server, in a single click.
Here are the steps to install a tasks package using tasksel:
- Install tasksel, if it is not already installed, by running the following command:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install tasksel
- Once tasksel is installed, run the following command to see a list of available tasks:
sudo tasksel --list-tasks
- Choose the task you want to install and run the following command:
sudo tasksel install <task-name>
Replace
<task-name>with the name of the task you want to install. - Follow the on-screen instructions to configure the packages included in the task.
Once the installation is complete, the packages for the task will be installed and configured on your system.
