Good morning...

From my truenas server on shell$, I can't use apt for install mc (midnight commander)...
Please how do I for install it ?

Thanks.

The quick answer is that you don't. TrueNAS is designed as an appliance, so you should generally be interfacing with it using the webui. Installing other programs is generally unsupported, and could potentially compromise the stability or security of the system.

Furthermore, apt is not the package manager for FreeBSD (which underlies the TrueNAS system). Which implies that you are following some kind of guide to do something which is for a Debian-based system.

All together, I'd strongly recommend that you not proceed with whatever you are trying to do until you have a deeper understanding of what consequences you may be creating for your system.

TrueNAS CORE comes with Midnight Commander installed. I suspect you are using TrueNAS SCALE and posted in the wrong sub-forum.

No, as Nick has explained, you can't install software in SCALE, just as you can't in CORE. But why are you trying to install mc? It's already there.

TrueNAS CORE comes with Midnight Commander installed.

So does SCALE.

So does SCALE.

Good to know. I have resisted turning to the dark side.

If it isn't obvious, so have I. I keep forgetting that SCALE is even a thing, haha.
