Maddy123, i ask you to at least try to read what is written for you. It might be that your question is not answered in one-to-one mode, but that doesn't exempt you from having to follow an answer to the end and give an honest try in finding out what someone is trying to explain to you.

In fact, it is the other way round: it was perfectly clear to Michael what you want to do, why you failed in doing so and what you could do to rectify that.

To use Michaels own words:

Along with that he told you how to find out if you have these versions already installed, where you can get them if you are interested in installing them and where on your system they will be located once you indeed install them at all. Plus he gave some background information nobody else could have provided, because - to my knowledge - he is the only one with direct and personal access to the labs of the OS' manufacturer.

In my book that is not only not "confusing" at all, but rather "utterly helpful" and "accomodating to the utmost". What - save for having them installed for you - do you think he should have done for you??

I suggest you change your attitude a bit: from entitlement towards cooperation. It might not only help you here but also with properly working your systems.

/PS:
There is no such command because the output of du is the other way round, with the size in front:

Code:

# du -sm *
0.00    file1
0.00    file2
0.06    file3
