I want to install zlib on Debian 6. For this, I think I would use apt-get install, but I don't know which package to use. The package zlib doesn't exist, and if I install zlibc (which sounds most appropriate), running zlib -version brings up the error command not found. (I used apt-file search zlib to find zlibc.)
Is there another package which contains zlib, and how do I find this package?

A zlib command does not exist:
$ dpkg -L zlib1g /. /usr /usr/share /usr/share/doc /usr/share/doc/zlib1g /usr/share/doc/zlib1g/copyright /usr/share/doc/zlib1g/changelog.Debian.gz /usr/share/doc/zlib1g/changelog.gz /usr/lib /usr/lib/libz.so.1.2.3.3 /usr/lib/libz.so.1 It is a library.
If you are searching for anything use apt-cache search.
And if you need a command to compress use either gzip or zip.
sudo apt install zlib1g Possibly
sudo apt install zlib1g-dev as well.
