Nslookup for Linux: dig
I’ve recently found out on my Mac, that nslookup will be obsolete; and we need to use dig instead of this well known tool. If you want to install it on Fedora, just type:
apt-get install bind-utils

Apt is a utility for Debian based systems. if you want to install it on fedora via apt-get, you will need to find and apt package manager for fedora. I am not sure about how to do this as i do not use fedora. But just to let people who want to install it know.
You can use yum for this:
