Actually I would like to use AIDE temporarily to find out which files are created/deleted/modified during
the installation of package xxxx.

How can I do this in detail?

Lets assume an example: I want to install java jdk and want to find out all relevant files.

>From my point of view I have to proceed as follows:

1.) I have to tell aide somehow to make a BEFORE-Snapshot of the filesystem
2.) Then I install java jdk
3.) I have to tell aide somehow to make a AFTER-Snapshot of the filesystem
4.) I have to compare BEFORE and AFTER snapshot somehow

So how look the aide commands for 1. + 3. + 4. in detail?

Again keep inmind AIDE should not run as a permanet service but only on demand.
