sudo apt install plexmediaserver

```

This will download and install Plex Media Server on your system. You may be prompted to accept the terms of service before installation begins.

Step 3: Checking Plex Media Server Status

After installation, you can check the status of Plex Media Server by running the following command:

```

sudo systemctl status plexmediaserver

```

This will show you whether the server is running or not. If it's not running, you can start it manually using:

```

sudo systemctl start plexmediaserver

```

To make sure the server starts automatically on boot, run:

```
