Software Packages

Under the previous section we discussed software packages and the commands used based on whether the distro is Debian or Red Hat based. I will not repeat each description, but I will go into descriptors based on whether an application is being searched, installed, or removed

DEB Packages

• apt search - search the repositories looking for a specific package_name
• apt-get install or apt install - used to install the package_name
• apt-get remove or apt remove - used to remove the package_name

sudo apt install package_name

RPM Packages

• yum search or dnf search - search the repository looking for a specific package_name
• yum install or dnf install - used to install the package_name
• yum remove or dnf remove - used to remove the package_name

sudo yum install package_name

Due to the nature of installing and removing, sudo is used to increase permissions. The format and order applies to searching, installing or removing.
