32.2 Installing the Apache Web Server Packages

The current release of Ubuntu typically does not install the Apache web server by default. To check whether the server is already installed, run the following command:

# apt -qq list apache

If apt generates output similar to the following, the apache server is already installed:

apache2/bionic-updates,bionic-security,now 2.4.29-1ubuntu4.13 amd64 [installed]

# apt install apache2
