How can I sync bitcoin full node so that I can access all details of transactions occurring on other nodes and other wallets also, like blockchain.info.

I have synced a full node using below commands, but that's giving details of node wallet account details.

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:bitcoin/bitcoin
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install bitcoin-qt
sudo apt-get install bitcoins

The commands you have used are not for syncing to the bitcoin blockchain but to install a bitcoin, now with this client you can sync if you want, you will need days or weeks depending on your computer bandwidth and performance and 250+ giga of hard drive, you can start syncing by locating your bitcoin directoryand simply running:

./bitcoind

You can find more information about using and running properly a bitcoin full node here: https://bitcoin.org/en/full-node

    @indrajit Command gettransaction is for the transaction of your wallet, you can access to all transaction on bitcoin with command getrawtransaction, I suggest you look the documentation official of Bitcoin corer RPC

    Notice that gettransaction is for in wallet transaction, maybe you want to use getrawtransaction also you have to have txindex=1 in your conf file and need to sync the full blockchain
