already provided in MacOS

In System Preferences under Sharing, there is an option for Remote Login.

This will run sshd at startup (through launchd) and enable SSH access with standard options. To tweak the sshd options, edit /etc/sshd_config (you’ll need to do this in a sudo shell or via sudo vi /etc/sshd_config).

apt-get

1. install sshd using apt-get in terminal
sudo apt-get install openssh-server

2. verify sshd
which sshd

3. verify status of ssh server (at time of writing, ssh server automatically starts and is enabled)
sudo systemctl status ssh

4. Start Stop Restart Status
sudo systemctl start ssh
sudo systemctl stop ssh
sudo systemctl restart ssh
sudo systemctl status ssh
