APT

APT (Advanced Packaging Tool) is a powerful package management system, which is the basis for the graphical Software Management application. APT automatically handles dependencies and performs other package operations that are required for package installation.

Note

Running APT requires administrative privileges. Entering commands with "sudo" generates a password prompt. Several of the commands below will not run without sudo.

Common commands used with APT are:

  • Installar de paquets :

    sudo apt-get install nom_del_paquet
  • Suprimir de paquets :

    sudo apt-get remove nom_del_paquet
  • Remove package dependencies that are no longer needed:

    sudo apt-get autoremove

  • Cercar de paquets :

    apt-cache search mot clau
  • Retrieve the current lists of available packages:

    sudo apt-get update

  • Install the latest available updates for the applications currently installed:

    sudo apt-get upgrade

  • Far la lista de las comandas e de las opcions suplementàrias :

    apt-get help
