Hello Community,

i have a question. I dont find the command for install a packet over the console.
What is the right command?

My problem is: I have deinstall a packet and now the windowmanager will not start.
I can only take inputs over the console.

Can anyone help me?

Best regards from saxony

slapt-get is the tool to use to install packages from repositories. installpkg is the one to use for packages that you have already downloaded.
