Linux - Install Software on Linux Server (apt-get)

Installing software on Linux is very easy using the apt-get command. Using sudo apt-get install apache2 your server will download Apache2, and install it without you needing media.

Note: Debian distributions of Linux use apt-get to install software. Red Hat distress use yum.

To Install Software

sudo apt-get update – Updates repository information
sudo apt-get install PACKAGENAME – Downloads and installs software
Upgrade/ Update Software

sudo apt-get upgrade
Uninstall Software

sudo apt-get remove PACKAGENAME – Unistalls software but leaves configuration files.
sudo apt-get purge PACKAGENAME – Uninstalls software and deletes configuration files.

There is no apt-get, it's just apt now. Apt-get is deprecated

Eli, this series is PERFECT! Not too fast, and not too preachy. Most people explaining Linux act like its secret content, and us noobs should consider ourselves lucky to suckle at their teat. I look forward to learning a little bit of Linux everyday from you. Thanks!

Thanks Eli for posting these videos. I learned a lot from you a few years back. I was sad to see you quit YouTube. I’m happy to see you back here again. You have a gift for teaching, and we all benefit from it. Thank you for all the teaching you do!

Hi Eli, thx for another great video. How come you didn't have to add the package repository for apache2 prior to installing it? Or did you already have it in the sources.list?

[vincentnnyc]

wow...i haven't watch your channel for awhile...i watch you all the way back in the old days you were really teaching about IT related stuffs to your philosophical mumbo jumbo about your mid life crisis while you were walking in thailand and now you back to doing video about IT related stuff again. Everything come back in a circle doesn't it? I knew you would be back....lol.

Any suggestion of books for linux administration and bash scripting on Debian / Redhat? I prefer to read a book because it's well structured and I can see the whole structure with my eyes.

Hi sir Eli! I recently subscribed your videos regarding Linux Server. That was so simple yet informative. If ever sir I'd like to request to make a video for 'Mirror' boot (OS) for Linux and set to Raid 1 or any RAID setup in the Storage. That will so perfect in terms in hardware failure. Thank you so much! (Inmymind: please make it sir ^^)
