Hello, How can I install Linux manpages ? Hi, I don't think you can install manpages. They come with whatever program you install. Mind you, not all programs have man pages. Just try the following format whenever you wanna look at the manpages: man <nameofcommand/software> Sometimes the "info" command helps too.* -- Regards, Amit Joshi -- ubuntu-users mailing list ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users |

They should be there already, though. In a quarter of a century, I have never encountered a unix without manpages. Any encountered should be avoided as unfit for use, I firmly assert. (OK, a bug report can help cure many an oversight.) It is unimaginable that there is an ubuntu version without manpages.

If you need the developement pages, they are installed using apt-get install manpages-dev. If you other languages besides English, they can also be installed. -- Charlie Kravetz Linux Registered User Number 425914 [http://counter.li.org/] Never let anyone steal your DREAM.

The manpages package installs other pages, but I think it's installed by default too. Some programs have a separate -doc package, which may include man pages.
