Ubuntu Debian How To Install Recommended Packages Automatically

A lot of times you may see when installing packages that apt will recommend packages, a lot of times when doing things like upgrading or install a new kernel, it is very smart at recommending related packages (eg. modules, headers, extras etc..)

All you need to do is add this flag to your "apt install" command:

--install-suggests

 

As you can see below, when we add this flag, it then installs all of the "Suggested packages" from above:

sudo apt install --install-suggests linux-image-5.15.0-119-generic
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
  linux-objects-nvidia-510-4.15.0-188-generic linux-signatures-nvidia-4.15.0-188-generic
Use 'sudo apt autoremove' to remove them.
The following additional packages will be installed:
  fdutils linux-doc linux-headers-5.15.0-119-generic linux-hwe-5.15-headers-5.15.0-119 linux-modules-5.15.0-119-generic linux-modules-extra-5.15.0-119-generic
Suggested packages:
  linux-hwe-5.15-tools
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  fdutils linux-doc linux-headers-5.15.0-119-generic linux-hwe-5.15-headers-5.15.0-119 linux-image-5.15.0-119-generic linux-modules-5.15.0-119-generic linux-modules-extra-5.15.0-119-generic
