xdotool - a tool used for simulating keyboard and mouse input on X11-based systems. However, Oracle Linux 9 (which is based on RHEL 9) does not include xdotool in its default repositories because it’s primarily a server-focused OS with minimal GUI support.

Opposed to all other servers we've seen, starting in Module 12.1 Network Security, the Network Security Lab is a Oracle Linux Server running Fedora 9.4

With Redhat, we're not using apt update && apt install -y Instead, we're using dnf, as in:

sudo dnf install -y xdotool

Verify the installation with:

xdotool --version
