How do I find which user installed a package in linux?

Question

Is there a way to find out which user installed a package in linux?

Answer

Usually packets are installed by the superuser (root) account.

In case users use sudo to install them, you can check ~/.bash_history for each user tu inspect who issued the $ sudo apt-get install PACKAGE (in case you’re using apt-get).
