apt-get update

  • Install a new package:

apt-get install {{package}}

  • Remove a package:

apt-get remove {{package}}

  • Upgrade installed packages to newest available versions:

apt-get upgrade

  • Remove no longer needed packages:

apt-get autoremove

  • Upgrade installed packages (like "upgrade"), but remove obsolete packages and install additional packages to meet new dependencies:

apt-get dist-upgrade
