ALE is installed but not doing anything in Vim

[PsySc0rpi0n]

Hello.
I'm using Debian Bookworm:

I installed ALE using VimPlug and my Vim config file is in ~/.vimrc.
The contents of Vim config file are:

$ cat .vimrc
call plug#begin('~/.vim/plugins')
" The default plugin directory will be as follows:
" - Vim (Linux/macOS): '~/.vim/plugged'
" - Vim (Windows): '~/vimfiles/plugged'
" - Neovim (Linux/macOS/Windows): stdpath('data') . '/plugged'
" You can specify a custom plugin directory by passing it as the argument
" - e.g. call plug#begin('\~/.vim/plugged')
" - Avoid using standard Vimdirectory names like 'plugin'

" Make sure you use single quotes
" Linter plugin Dense-Analysis ALE
Plug 'dense-analysis/ale'

" Light Line plguin itchyny LightLine
Plug 'itchyny/lightline.vim'

" Auto Pairs plugin auto-pairs
Plug 'LunarWatcher/auto-pairs'

" Initialize plugin system
" - Automatically executes filetype plugin indent on and syntax enable.
call plug#end()

set number
set shiftwidth=4
set expandtab
set tabstop=4
set laststatus=2
let g:lightline = {
'colorscheme': 'solarized',
}
"hi CursorLine cterm=NONE ctermbg=darkred ctermfg=white guibg=darkred guifg=white
"hi CursorColumn cterm=NONE ctermbg=darkgreen ctermfg=white guibg=darkgreen guifg=white

When I open a file, let's say with Python code and make a mistake on purpose to see if linter is working, nothing happens.

What can I do to try to figure out what is wrong?

Run ALEInfo that may provide some insights of what may be the problem. Also ensure you have installed and configured the linter you want to use. See list of supported tools in the help documentation :h ale-supported-list.

  Command History:

Maybe I don't have all things needed installed. For instance, if I want only for Python, C and bash (if posible), what should I install?
And these linters are debian packages that we can install with APT or is something else that is installed with ALE and/or with Vim?
I don't see any example so that I can try to follow so I'm a bit lost!

Edited;
Nevermind, I got it working now! At least the error checking is working. Completion I don't know yet.
