Using the apt-get Command

Debian and Ubuntu package management utility. Search for packages using `apt-cache`. It is recommended to use `apt` when used interactively in Ubuntu versions 16.04 and later. More information: <https://manned.org/apt-get.8>.

  • Update the list of available packages and versions (it’s recommended to run this before other apt-get commands):

sudo apt-get update

  • Install a package, or update it to the latest available version:

sudo apt-get install *package*

  • Remove a package:

sudo apt-get remove *package*

  • Remove a package and its configuration files:

sudo apt-get purge *package*

  • Upgrade all installed packages to their newest available versions:

sudo apt-get upgrade

  • Clean the local repository - removing package files (.deb) from interrupted downloads that can no longer be downloaded:

sudo apt-get autoclean

  • Remove all packages that are no longer needed:

sudo apt-get autoremove

  • Upgrade installed packages (like upgrade), but remove obsolete packages and install additional packages to meet new dependencies:

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
