« Enabling and
Using apt-get in Ubuntu Linux
By admin | September 21, 2008
If you ever need to install packages (built-in), but cannot use Synaptic, then here are some useful tips on using apt-get in Ubuntu:
- sudo apt-get install package – Installs package and it’s dependencies
- sudo apt-get remove package – Removes package, but you need to use #4 to remove unused dependencies
- sudo apt-get update – Updates the package list (checks for updates)
- sudo apt-get autoremove – See #2, removes leftover dependencies
- sudo apt-get clean – Removes leftover cached packages. Use this to free up space on your root partition
- sudo apt-get -s ACTION – Performs a simulation run of ACTION. Does not actually do anything.
- sudo apt-get -d ACTION – Downloads the package only. Does not actually install it. Use ACTION with install.
- sudo apt-get -f install – Fixes broken dependencies.
- sudo apt-get autoclean – See #5 above.
- sudo apt-get purge – Remove and purge packages.
- sudo apt-get moo – Self-explaining. (Will format your hard disk and render it unusable.)
