DPKG – Debian Package Manager used to install, uninstall, list and check the status of the package

It comes with .deb file.

DPKG does not honour dependecies hence we need to use APT for Ubuntu

APT stands for Advanced Packaging Tool and relies on DPKG

Use apt update command to refresh the repository-

sudo apt update

Use apt upgrade to upgrade exisitng package-

sudo apt upgrade

To install a package-

sudo apt install <package name>

To uninstall or remove package-

sudo apt remove <package name>

To search package e.g:- python-dev

sudo apt search python-dev

To list all the packages in repository-

sudo apt list
