How to list all the packages installed on your system

Overview

Packages in programming are directories used to give a separate identity to a group of classes. They are also essential building blocks in programming, because without packages, we would spend a lot of time writing code that has already been written.

In this shot, we’ll see how we can list all the packages on a system using the list command.
