Is the man command not installed with osmc? If not, is this a performance optimization?
Just wondering because I got an error when trying to look at man pages. I could not find any osmc forum threads confirming this one way, or the other.
osmc@piradio:~$ man man
-bash: man: command not found
osmc@piradio:~$
man was not included in order to keep image size down.
That’s what I figured, but thanks for confirming.
For some time now I’ve been in the habit of getting the linux man pages from a (google) search.

You can install if you want. Is in the repository.
Can you or somebody please explain (noob-proof) how to install man and info commands for a osmc that is running on a rasbpi? The available add-on sources (incl. suprerepo) dont show these.
Man and info are not related to the add-ons for Kodi. So I doubt that you actually want them.
They are for the CLI commands. And I suggest instead of stressing the PI with installing them just use online sources like
http://linux.die.net/man/
only crap and fail is found in superrepo so please dont reference that here again
We cannot provide support for these. To get a better idea of our piracy policy, please see this link here FAQ - OSMC Forums
Thanks for your understanding
I actually want them - and still don´t know how to install. If i wanted to get the info that they are online accessible i would habe looked two posts above.
As you are so eager:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install man-db
sudo apt-get install info
Thank you very much.
For getting more self-sufficient: would there be a place where you can browse through the things you can apt-get???

Again - Thanks you two
