Clear command not found inside docker container ?

if you're inside docker container using cli trying to modify files and wanna clear yout terminal , you tried ctl + l or clear command but getting response like

bash: clear: command not found

don't worry it's due to container nature, since it always install bare minimum utilities so we can manually install linux utility to work smoothly .

1. Find out container os image

bash-5.2# cat /etc/os-release

here in my case Wazuh Manager container is running on Amazon Linux, which is based on Fedora, the package manager to use is dnf.

1. now we can install clear utility in you container by following steps

Install util-linux package it contains the clear command

dnf install util-linux -y

or else you can install ncurses

See Clear command will work now .
