The output of this command is illustrated in the following screenshot:

With this command, we can see additional details regarding the package we're 
considering installing. In this case, we learn that the 
libapache2-mod-php
 package 
also depends on PHP itself, so that means if we install this package, we'll get the PHP 
plugin as well as PHP.
Another method of searching for a package (if you have a web browser available) 
is to connect to the 
Ubuntu Packages Search
 page at 
http://packages.ubuntu.com/
, 
where you can navigate through the packages from their database for any currently 
supported version of Ubuntu. You won't always have access to a web browser while 
working on your servers, but, when you do, this is a very useful way to search 
through packages, view their dependencies, descriptions, and more.
Using the 
apt search
 command, as well as the 
snap find
 command, should get you 
quite far in the process of determining the name of the packages you want to install. 
Package management skills come over time, so don't expect to automatically know 
which packages to install right away. When in doubt, just perform a Google search, 
research the documentation of the software you want to run, and learn how to install 
it in Ubuntu. Typically, the instructions will lead you to the correct commands 
to use. The examples we'll go over during the course of this book will guide you 
through the most common use cases for Ubuntu Server.
