• Add relevant data for distros ['debian','ubuntu','redhat','fedora','sles','opensuse','gentoo']
• Now add data to the JSON file

   {
   	"command_1" : {
   		"distro_1" : "translated command_1 in distro_1",
   		"distro_2" : "translated command_1 in distro_2",
   		.
   		.
   	},
   	"command_2" : {
   		"distro_1" : "translated command_2 in distro_1",
   		"distro_2" : "translated command_2 in distro_2",
   		.
   		.
   	},
   	.
   	.
   	.
   }

• Save the {{Package Manager}}.json file into `data' folder.
• Done
