I just installed a Debian machine.
And since I’m a very longtime RedHat/Fedora man now I’m struggling with the commands to install stuff.
Here are my notes:
| apt update | Updates the meta-data and repositories |
| apt upgrade | Actually upgrades packages who need upgrading |
| apt install <package> | Installs a package |
| apt list [package] | Displays all packages known to apt
Or shows whether a package is installed |
| apt remove | Removes the mentioned package |
| apt-file | searches which pacakage supplies a program
(before running run apt-file update) (I first had to install apt-file : apt install apt-file) |
