       Install works similar to the way it does in apt.

       nala takes multiple packages as arguments and will install all of them.

       To install a specific version of a package you may use the = sign as below
              nalainstalltmux=3.3a-3~bpo11+1

       Nala can also install packages directly from a URL such as:
              nalainstallhttps://example.org/path/to/pkg.deb

       nala-install - install packages

--purge
              Purge any packages that would removed during the transaction.

       --debug
              Print  helpful  information for solving issues.  If you're submitting a bug report try running the
              command again with --debug and providing the output to the devs, it may be helpful.

       --raw-dpkg
              Force nala not to format dpkg output.

              This disables all formatting and it would look as if you were using apt.

              A more indepth explanation for what this switch does, nala will fork a tty instead of  a  pty  for
              dpkg.

              nala will also not display a progress bar for dpkg with this turned on.  Additionally the language
              of the output will not be forced into English for this mode.

       -d, --download-only
              Packages are only retrieved, not unpacked or installed.

       -t, --target-release
              Set the release in which Nala will install packages from

              Example: Install neofetch from the testing repo:

                     nalainstall--target-releasetestingneofetch--remove-essential
              Allow the removal of essential packages.

              This is very dangerous, but we thought you should have the option.

       --assume-yes, --assume-no-y, --assume-yes

                     Automatically select yes for any prompts which may need your input.

                     If  the  configuration  option  assume_yes is true, this switch will set it back to default
                     behavior

              -n, --assume-no

                     Automatically select no for any prompts which may need your input.

       --simple, --no-simple--simple

                     This variant is the default-o, --option
              Set options to pass through to apt, nala, or dpkg.

              Example:
                     Force dpkg to install new config files without prompting:

                            nalainstall--optionDpkg::Options::="--force-confnew"

                     Disable scrolling text for nalanalainstall--optionNala::scrolling_text="false"

                     Allow nala to update unauthenticated repositories:

                            nalainstall--option* APT::Get::AllowUnauthenticated="true"-v, --verbose
              Disable scrolling text and print extra information
