Download a package manually using wget (e.g., a sample .rpm or .deb file). (Verify its existence using ls)

Here's how you can manually download a package using wget and verify its existence with ls:

For a .deb package (Debian/Ubuntu):

bash

Copy

wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/z/zlib/zlib1g_1.2.11.dfsg-2ubuntu1_amd64.deb
ls -l zlib1g_1.2.11.dfsg-2ubuntu1_amd64.deb

For a .rpm package (CentOS/RHEL):

bash

Copy

wget http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7/os/x86_64/Packages/zlib-1.2.7-18.el7.x86_64.rpm
ls -l zlib-1.2.7-18.el7.x86_64.rpm

What's happening:

1. wget downloads the package file from the URL

2. ls -l shows the downloaded file with details (size, permissions, timestamp)

If the download was successful, you'll see the file listed with its details. If not, you'll get a "No such file or directory" message.

Note: These are example URLs for common packages - you can replace them with any valid .deb or .rpm file URL you need to download.
