| + | === How does it work ? === | ||
| + | |||
| + | * **Ubuntu applications** are distributed through package files in **//Debian// format** (''.deb'' files) that are found in [[https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Applications#Software_repositories|software repositories]] | ||
| + | |||
| + | * High level package management tools such as ''aptitude'' or ''synaptic'' rely on ''apt'' which, itself, relies on ''dpkg'' to manage the packages in the system | ||
| + | * The ''apt'' tool merges functionality of ''apt-get'' and ''apt-cache'' and by default has a fancier colored output format, making it more pleasant for humans. For usage in scripts or advanced use cases, ''apt-get'' is still preferable or needed | ||
| + | * ''apt*'' tools and ''dpkg'' are pre-installed on Ubuntu | ||
| + | * [[https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-faq/pkgtools.en.html#aptitude|aptitude]] can be used on the command-line or through a text-based interface. | ||
| + | * You do not need to have an [[other:x_conf|X server]] running to use ''aptitude'', therefore aptitude can be used in the early stages of a Linux installation, or on a remote Linux computer | ||
| + | * [[https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-faq/pkgtools.en.html#synaptic|synaptic]] is a graphical package manager | ||
| + | * You need to have an [[other:x_conf|X server]] running in order to use it | ||
