The program 'x' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: sudo apt install x.

Wow, thanks! I didn't know! I've always wanted to know how to install programs with apt.

You can also do, eg, apt-get install firefox and chrome/chromium.

In fact, on Linux based distros (I can’t say for BSD cause I’ve never used it), applications are mostly installed via their respective package managers. On Ubuntu, if you’re installing apps via its app store, it’s essentially doing an apt-get install I believe. The app store is just a GUI wrapper, I think.

@Japorized
apt-get is outdated
apt or snap ftw

@Linux Isn’t apt just sort of like a bundle for apt-get, apt-cache, etc.?

@Japorized No :)

@Linux Welp guess I better hit the man page again, not that I’ll remember for a long time tho :/

@Japorized
check out snap too :)

@Linux Oh I will. Thanks for mentioning it, although I only use apt via WSL 😅
