Debian / Ubuntu tasksel: Install Group Software (tasks) such As DNS / Web Server In A Single Click

On Debian and Ubuntu systems, you can use the tasksel utility to install a group of related software packages (also known as "tasks") in a single click.

To install a task, follow these steps:

1. Open a terminal and update the package list:

sudo apt update

2. Install the tasksel package:

sudo apt install tasksel

3. Run the tasksel command:

sudo tasksel

This will open the Tasksel interface.

4. Select the task you want to install and press Enter.

For example, to install a DNS server, you would select the dns-server task. To install a web server, you would select the web-server task.
