what does bash-4.4$ refers to?

Time:11-01

enter image description hereI've bought a server in Hostinger and loaded my project. After that I've connected the server with ssh to my vs code and working on my project while I am handling terminal I can see the prompt something call bash-4.4$(some linux like) with that I cant use sudo, root, apt, etc,. most of the linux commands I can't use. May be the hostinger restricts the user to do that but how can i install the required tools like apache, etc

Can Someone Help me ?

CodePudding user response:

The bash-4.4$ is a shell prompt, you can read more about it here.

You can install new software on the machine only if you have root access or your current user have sudo access (sudoers file)

You can type:

$ whoami

To see your current user.

And

$ cat /etc/*-release

To see all the information about your current linux distro.
