bash: man: command not found

Just a quick update to my experience with a VPS server. The Ubuntu install on CheapVPS is so stripped down it doesn’t even include one of the most basic commands: man. man display man pages which are Linux manuals for commands.

To install this use the following command:
sudo apt-get install manpages
