Most of the
time you have to use the Terminal and install the package by entering the
commands after this each and every component of the package get download and
installed to your computer, and for this you have to be online and you need a
fast and uninterrupted internet connection which is not possible every time. On
may site you will get the different package to download in bulk and install
them but they are sometime out of mind. Unlike Windows Linux support wider
range of the installer and all have different code to install them. Today’s
post am going to cover most of the file format that will defiantly help u to
install the package in Linux via terminal.
Firstly you
need to set the terminal in context menu so that you can open the terminal
everywhere in directry.
How to install and remove a package in Linux
The general
command to install the package in Linux is
Sudo apt-get
install packagename
|
To update the
current package, enter the following command
Sudo apt-get update
|
To remove the
package from the system,
Sudo apt-get remove packagename
|
And remove
all the dependent package from the directory use the following command
Sudo apt-get autoremove
|
How to install a .Deb package in Linux
.Deb is popular
installer package compatible for debian distribution Linux like Linux Mint and
Ubuntu. These packages are easily available on the Net to download and install.
In most of the system you can get the installing option from context menu too.
If you want to use the terminal then, right click on the package directoryà open terminal and enter the following
command
Sudo dpkg - i packagename.deb
|
Removing the
debian package enter the following command
Sudo dpkg – r packagename

Installing Tar/Gzip and Tar/BZip2 achieve files
These
Tar/Gzip files are having extention .Tar.gz and filetype Tar/BZip2 have
extension .tar.bz2. Tar/BZip2 are newer verson of Tar/GZip. To Extract these
file, as usual open the terminal in the same directory, and run the following
command

package. Example
