I’ve entered the app `./launcher enter app` and run the command

`apt install net-tools`

It no work.

I tend to leave the discourse setup as is but I need to look into recently increased server load (user demand uptick), and so assumed I needed to enter the app and run netstat.

Apparently it is not installed by default nor can I install it.

This is a fairly rookie question I know I’m missing something very obvious here. Maybe I don’t need to be in the app?
