Correcting Linux Commands

Question

I need to correct some Linux commands in Latex, I'm currently using the minted library because for me is the better looking one but I can't manage to make too long command break into two parts.

For example:

\documentclass[12pt,english, openany, oneside,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
% Paquetes utilizados en el documento 
\usepackage[spanish]{babel} 
\usepackage{minted}
\title{}
\author{}
\date{}
\begin{document}
\maketitle
\noindent
Instalar todas las dependencias necesarias de Home Assistance Superviced 
\begin{minted}{bash}
   $ apt-get update && apt-get upgrade && apt-get install jq wget curl avahi-daemon udisks2 libglib2.0-bin network-manager dbus apparmor -y 
\end{minted}
\end{document}

This code shows the command like this:

Is there someway to make it all fit by breaking it into more lines? I appreciate the help.

Replace \begin{minted}{bash} with \begin{minted}[breaklines]{bash}. — hair-splitter, Mar 08 '22 at 18:31
@DavidCarlisle I tried that but it doesn't work, if what you mean is putting a \ when I want the line to break. — Julio Ortegón, Mar 08 '22 at 19:08
no not \ , just a newline minted is like verbatim, it obeys the lines in the source — David Carlisle, Mar 08 '22 at 19:10
I don't know how to force Latex to do it, but bash allows a newline after any of &&, ||, &, | — glenn jackman, Mar 08 '22 at 22:35

As David said, you can just do it:

\begin{minted}{bash}
   $ apt-get update && apt-get upgrade && 
     apt-get install jq wget curl avahi-daemon udisks2 \
        libglib2.0-bin network-manager dbus apparmor -y 
\end{minted}

...which will give the following image. I do not know if automatic line breaking is possible, or desirable (you can break lines semantically by hand).

PD: utf-8 has been the default for a while, so the inputenc package is not needed; but you probably will want T1 font encoding; moreover, if you use Unicode input for Spanish, I heartily suggest to use:

\usepackage[spanish, es-noshorthands, shorthands=off]{babel}

to avoid future problems with active chars (not needed for Spanish if you use Unicode!).
