Installing Software With a Linux Package Manager
On this page
Linux distributions install and update software through a package manager, rather than downloading installers manually.
On Ubuntu or Debian (apt)
Update the package list
sudo apt update
Install a package
sudo apt install package-name
Remove a package
sudo apt remove package-name
On AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux or CentOS (dnf/yum)
Install a package
sudo dnf install package-name (or yum install package-name on older systems)
Remove a package
sudo dnf remove package-name
Keeping your system updated
Run sudo apt upgrade (Ubuntu/Debian) or sudo dnf upgrade (AlmaLinux/Rocky) periodically to keep installed software up to date with the latest security patches.
