How to install from stdout?

debianfella · 07-19-2023, 06:28 AM

Hello !

Let's say that I want to install all official PHP packages

To list the packages I do:

Code:

apt-cache pkgnames | grep php

The stdout output is a list of 633 package names; some of the package names have the word php in the start or somewhere in the middle or in the end --- just once, or more.

How could I refer that list to an apt install command to install each one of these packages?

Thanks !
