Installing and removing software
Before we begin, we will want to research a bit regarding the application we want to install. In Ubuntu, there are multiple ways of installing software, so the best way to find out how to get started is by simply checking the documentation on the website for the application we want to install. Typically, a Google search will do (just make sure you check the domain and are on the correct site). Most software will have installation instructions for various platforms, including Ubuntu. Most of the time, it will just tell you to download the Debian package format via the apt install command. Other times, the software may have a Snap available, or even a PPA repository (we’ll discuss PPA repositories later on in this chapter). Let’s start our package management journey by taking a look at the apt commands that are used to install Debian packages.
