The command apt install bc sysstat
is used on systems that utilize the apt
package manager (typically Debian-based Linux distributions like Ubuntu) to install the bc
and sysstat
packages. Here's what each package does:
-
bc
:- Stands for "Basic Calculator."
- It is a command-line calculator that allows for precision arithmetic and mathematical operations, including floating-point calculations. It is often used in shell scripts for numerical computations.
-
sysstat
:- A package that includes a collection of performance monitoring tools for Linux systems.
- It provides utilities like
iostat
,sar
, and others to monitor CPU, memory, disk I/O, and other system performance metrics.
In summary, this code installs the tools necessary for performing mathematical calculations (bc
) and for monitoring system performance (sysstat
).
