dpkg and rpm

"Like RPM, it is not designed to directly retrieve packages in day-to-day use, but to install and remove them locally."
i am not able to understand what this line state.

Hi @saumya043 ,
That means that 'rpm' and 'dpkg' commands are not intended to install packages from repositories, but they can install and remove packages that are present locally on the system. For installing packages we use 'yum/dnf' and 'apt', tools that resolve dependencies.
I hope that's clear enough
Note: next time please provide the Chapter and topic you are referring to, so it's easier to find the information.

Hi @saumya043 ,
You need to use 'sudo' or become root in order to edit the /etc/fstab file.

hi luis
thank you....
in chapter 24 while creating raid disk ,we are writing "$ sudo bash -c "mdadm --detail --scan >> /etc/mdadm.conf" a commnad line. can u please explain this command to me1 -
Hi @saumya043 , you need to know the different ways to get information about commands. Using man, help, info, apropos, etc. Are your friends.
sudo bash -c "mdadm --detail --scan >> /etc/mdadm.conf"
I see a command "bash" with a -c parameter followed an expression (command) between ", the parameter -c indicates to bash to interprete the expression between " " as a command.
I can see the command between " " is using redirection, specifically, append ">>" (if you don't understand the concept of append, pipe, or redirection, please find information about that, this is an essential and important concept in Bash. Basically, this will take the output of the "mdadm --detail --scan" and APPEND (>>) it into the file /etc/mdadm.conf
See the man (man is your friend!!) page for mdadm to understand "--detail" and "--scan" option.
man mdadm | less -p ' --detail' (press N to move between results)
-D, --detail Print details of one or more md devices.
man mdadm | less -p ' --scan' (press N to move between results)
-s, --scan Scan config file or /proc/mdstat for...
So, Do you need to know what's the mdadm.conf ?,
ok ...our friend "man" is here
man mdadm.conf
I like to see mdadm.confg like an extra "fstab" for RAID
, but the man page explains this better.
I recommend you master the basics about redirection, pipe, vars, alias in bash. You will find interesting things. Also if you understand the different ways to find information in Linux, for example,** man -k** is very helpful when you don't have an idea how to do something, also exists apropos but I prefer use man -k.

the sudo bash -c ... is beacuse you cannot do something like "sudo echo something > /etc/file" because the sudo will apply to the echo but not the redirection.

Hi @saumya043 ,
I think that nicolasmendoza and coop already answered your question
In case you are not sure what the command does, you always can read the documentation for the command, and then run it for testing purposes. Just be sure to try it in a virtual machine, so you don't mess your main system, hehehe.
Many regards,
