Managing Packages on Debian and Ubuntu Systems

Use the apt command to clean, update and upgrade the system software:

sudo -i
apt clean
apt update
apt list --upgradeable
apt upgrade

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

We should see a It works! page. Hit the q key to get back to a command line. Now lets dump that page's output to a text file:

elinks -dump http://localhost > index.html

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.
