To install telnet on a Linux system, you can use the package manager that comes with your distribution.

Here are the steps to install telnet on a few popular Linux distributions:

On Debian/Ubuntu:

1. Open a terminal window and run the following command:

1

sudo apt-get update

This command updates the package index and ensures that you have the latest version of the package manager.

1. Run the following command to install telnet:

sudo apt-get install telnetd

This will install the telnet server package, which includes the telnet client as well.

On CentOS/Red Hat:

sudo yum update

This command updates the package index and ensures that you have the latest version of the package manager.

Once the installation is complete, you can use the telnet command to connect to a remote server. For example, to connect to a server at IP address 192.168.1.100, you can run the following command:

You will be prompted to enter a username and password for the server. If the connection is successful, you will be logged in to the remote server and will be able to run commands on it.
