In which folder do i need to be for installing git on ubuntu 22.04

I am new to Ubuntu and want to do sudo apt install git.

Do I need to be in root directory or in my home directory for that?

Solution

  • You don't need to be in any specific directory to call this command. You can see this by calling

    sudo apt-file update
apt-file list git

    which lists all files that would be installed as part of git package. Note that the output is irrelevant to your current location (i.e. these files have absolute location).
