APT

About the command you just ran...

Unlike Windows, many Linux distros manages their software through "Packages", and it's managed by a "Package Manager". This is convenient for updating every application with ease (like before), and installing new software is easier than ever.

There are many Package Managers, Ubuntu uses APT (Advanced Package Tool).

These are the most common usages of APT:

Function	Command
List installed packages	sudo apt list
Install packages	sudo apt install <package>
Get updates	sudo apt update
Install updates	sudo apt upgrade
Remove packages	sudo apt remove <package>
Remove all unused packages	sudo apt autoremove
