In this lesson, we are going to learn about how to
search for packages and install them.
So in case you do not know a package name, but
you wish to install a package. Which should
do a desired task for you.
Let's say you want to run FTP and you need
a package, which is a GUI for FTP client.
Which is a graphical user interface client to
connect securely to FTP server.
But you are not aware about the name of the program.
with the help of Apt search
you will be able to search all the programs that
allows you to do a specific task based
on a description here is graphical user
interface or GUI FTB.
After you have got a list of packages which
are matching with
your description. You can get more information about them
by running the command apt show.
So it's a practical time and let's see how you
can use this command to search for packages.
I'm onto my terminal right now.
Here I want to install a program,
but I don't know the name. So I'm going to search for something
which is graphical FTP using the
command apt search.
Here you can see these are the matching results
with their description filezilla F
tools FV and so on.
So I know okay files realize the tool
that helps me connect to FTP with the help of
GUI.
Now I'm going to see more information about this tool
using the command APD show.
Filezilla.
You can replace filezilla with any package name
that you want here. You could be able to see the package
name version.
