   Search for the apache http Package, Install It along with the elinks Package, and Use elinks to Dump the Home Page to /root/index.html

   Use the apt command to find the apache http package. Install it, and then install elinks to verify operation of the server. Use elinks to output the http://localhost home page to /root/index.html

   apt search 'apache http'
   apt install apache2 elinks
   

   To just see if the server is up, run this command:

   elinks http://localhost

   Show Information about the tzdata Package and Reconfigure That Package

   Use the dpkg command to show the information about the tzdata. Use dpkg-reconfigure to adjust the timezone to US/Pacific.

   dpkg -s tzdata
   dpkg-reconfigure tzdata
   

   Once we run the reconfigure command, we'll be prompted with the tzdata package's configuration window, and we can set the correct time zone.
