man command not found

[jatomlins]

I have a Asus Tinker Board running 201704-tinker-board-linaro-stretch-alip-v1.8.img. It boots to the Debian LXDE 9.0 GUI window.

After using the Ctrl-Alt-F1 to get to the command line from LXDE GUI window, I tried using the man command but it comes back with -bash: man: command not found. So I tried sudo apt-get install man (no success) and sudo apt-get install manpages (again no success).  And,yes, I did a sudo apt-get update and apt-get upgrade.

Please help. I need man working.

The 'man-db' package contains the actual man command.

Thank you, Augiedoggie! That worked.

An easy way to search for packages:

apt-cache search man
