Maybe I'm just missing something but where is the name of the package? How do I install this? Is it an `apt-get install cockpit`? I don't see that written anywhere obvious.

Yes. Assuming a debian-based distro, try "apt-cache search cockpit" and it comes right up. To see the available version try "apt-cache madison cockpit" which returns (on my Ubuntu 16.04 desktop) "cockpit | 161-1~ubuntu16.04.1 | ..."

click your distribution (I assume Ubuntu?) here to reveal the way to install it http://cockpit-project.org/running.html.

if you are running Ubuntu seems to require backports for anything below 17.04 though.

I also had this question and it took me about 5 minutes to figure out that you needed to click to reveal. It's fancy, but not at all practical. Hopefully someone updates it to just a flat list.
