# aptitude
> Debian and Ubuntu package management utility.
- Synchronize list of packages and versions available. This should be run first, before running subsequent aptitude commands:
`aptitude update`
- Install a new package and its dependencies:
`aptitude install {{package}}`
- Search for a package:
`aptitude search {{package}}`
- Search for an installed package (`?installed` is an aptitude search term):
`aptitude search '?installed({{package}})'`
- Remove a package and all packages depending on it:
`aptitude remove {{package}}`
- Upgrade installed packages to newest available versions:
`aptitude upgrade`
- Upgrade installed packages (like `aptitude upgrade`) including removing obsolete packages and installing additional packages to meet new package dependencies:
`aptitude full-upgrade`
- Put an installed package on hold to prevent it from being automatically upgraded:
`aptitude hold '?installed({{package}})'`
