I have a list of packages:

g++-11 lld llvm-12-dev clang-12 clang-format-12 bison libboost1.71-dev libboost1.71-context-dev libboost1.71-filesystem-dev libboost1.71-system-dev libjemalloc-dev libssl-dev

I don't want to type sudo apt-get install ... on each single one of them, what's the best way to accomplish this ?

Input:

sudo apt install g++-11 lld llvm-12-dev clang-12 clang-format-12 bison libboost1.71-dev libboost1.71-context-dev libboost1.71-filesystem-dev libboost1.71-system-dev libjemalloc-dev libssl-dev

Output:

I tried that and i think the problem is that it stops if it cant find one of them. Thanks! – LC117 Jul 15 '21 at 17:34
Which package is it unable to find? – Random Person Jul 15 '21 at 17:35
'libboost1.71-filesystem-dev' and 'libboost1.71-context-dev' and 'libboost1.71-system-dev' – LC117 Jul 15 '21 at 17:36

You have typed the wrong package names I guess. Try this: `sudo apt install libboost-context1.71-dev libboost-filesystem1.71-dev libboost-system1.71-dev` . This link will be helpful: https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal/libboost1.71-dev – Random Person Jul 15 '21 at 17:48
