I was reading in this post on how to install suggested packages.

I get how to do it with apt-get install whatever-package-name --install-suggests. But I read that you could make a file in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/ and put in the line APT::Install-Suggests "true". But what I don't understand is what type of file to make.

P.S. If I am totally off base or you don't understand what I am trying to say just let me know. I'm still a bit nooby.

You don't need any type for that file.

echo 'APT::Install-Suggests "true";' | sudo tee /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99custom
