I just dipped my toes into Linux, and as obvious as it should be, I am starting with Ubuntu as it makes life easier for starters. I believe, the best way to get a grip over command line is to use it for all day-to-day activities - - like app installation, copying, moving and deleting files etc.
For me, the most trickiest part has been installing apps via command line. Reason? It's not as simple as $ sudo apt-get install app-name-here
- - because sometimes (if not most of the time), we need dependencies etc.
Having made that clear, now I ask: is there a way to visualize the terminal commands being issued by the Ubuntu Software Center when I am installing an app?
This way I can note down the commands, find the similarities as to how most apps can be installed flawlessly via command line and from then on, install apps via the command line. (Most importantly, this will help me on the server-side as well.)
sudo apt-get install -f
- that'll make sure that the dependencies are properly installed. but that's a different question....
