aptitude and apt-get

Although we can install programs graphically, we can always use the console to install any software. Many users this option may seem a bit more complicated and somewhat cryptic. Nothing is further from reality, once you get used much more comfortable, quick and easy. There are two ways to install programs in text mode: with aptitude and apt-get .

Both programs are very similar, except for one detail: aptitude recalled units have been applied in the installation of a package. This means that if you install or upgrade an application with aptitude and then want to uninstall, delete the program aptitude along with all its dependencies (unless they are used by other packages). If installed with apt-get or Synaptic GUI, the uninstallation will erase only the specified package, but no dependencies. Use
  • install packages:

    $ sudo aptitude install

  • Remove Packages:
  • $ sudo aptitude remove

    Uninstall packages (including configuration files): $ sudo aptitude remove - purge


  • Update list of available packages:


    $ sudo aptitude update

    $ sudo aptitude upgrade

    Get a list of command options: $ sudo aptitude

    help


     To install packages from the command line you can also use apt-get, although it is preferable to use aptitude for handling dependencies.
