To install net-tools in Ubuntu, follow these steps:

  1. Open a terminal by pressing Ctrl+Alt+T or by searching for "Terminal" in the start menu.
  2. Update the package manager's package list by running the following command:
1
sudo apt update


  1. Install net-tools by running the following command:
1
sudo apt install net-tools


  1. Wait for the installation to complete. Once it's done, net-tools will be installed on your system and you can use its utilities like ifconfig, netstat, and route.


If you want to check if net-tools is already installed on your system, you can run the following command:

1
dpkg -l | grep net-tools


This will display a list of all the packages that contain the string "net-tools" in their name. If net-tools is installed, it should be listed in the output.
