Why is "boot-repair" listed twice in the ubuntu documentation?

  • 772

I'm new to Ubuntu and I'm going through the official documentation. Can someone explain why the command sudo apt-get install -y boot-repair && boot-repair lists "boot-repair" twice?

Seen here in this image.

    The last line contains two commands.

    The first part installs boot-repair. (sudo apt-get install -y boot-repair)

    The "&&" characters is a delimiter like ";" is, however its conditional on success, ie. the command following it is only to be run IF the first command had no errors.

    The 'second' boot-repair is the one that runs it.
