# First, find out which section your man page belongs to. If its a command, it probably belongs to section 1. You can read the manpage for the man command Manpage icon to see a description of the different sections and their corresponding numbers.
# Copy your man page to /usr/local/share/man/man1/ (change 1 to your section number if need be). You can also install it to /usr/share/man/man1/, but it's best practise to use the local directory for files that are installed without using the APT package manager:
$ sudo cp examplecommand.1 /usr/local/share/man/man1/
# Run the mandb command. This will update man's internal database:
$ sudo mandb
#That's it! You should be able to view the man page by running:
$ man 1 examplecommand
