1. Install the NTP package. This can be done on most systems by running the following command:
sudo apt-get install ntp
2. Configure the NTP server. You can do this by editing the /etc/ntp.conf file. Make sure to specify a list of servers you want to synchronize with, as well as the local clock offset.
3. Start the NTP service. This can be done with the following command:
sudo service ntp start
4. Check the NTP service status. You can do this by running the command:
ntpq -p
This will show you a list of all the servers you are synchronizing with, and their offset from the local clock.
5. Test the NTP server. You can use the ntpdate command to test the accuracy of the NTP server. This command will show you the difference between the local clock and the remote server.
6. Monitor the NTP server. You can use ntpstat to check the status of the NTP server, or ntpq -pn to check the list of servers you are synchronizing with.
