I want to find out what commands installing a package makes available in my console.

For example: If I want to run the command quiz in bash, I have to install a set of packages by asking apt-get to install bsdgames.

  • I am not sure that I understand your example, because the question seems quite the opposite to me. Following your example, you would like to know which commands are provided by the package bsdgames (that it looks like what you are asking) or which package provides the command quiz (that is what you did in your example)? – dadexix86 Dec 24 '15 at 12:15

You can either do:

apt-file update
apt-file search quiz

or directly go to http://packages.ubuntu.com/ and use the feature "Search the contents of packages".

Open a terminal and run

sudo apt-add-repository universe
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install bsdgames

to add the Universe repository, to update the package information and to install bsdgames, quiz is part of this package.

After that you can run

quiz

in your terminal.

Why? That's why.
