In this lesson. We are going to learn about installing and
removing packages from your Linux OS using
apt.
So the command to install a packages APD install and
the package name that you wish to install.
Similarly the command to remove a packages apt remove
and the package name that you want to remove from your
system.
It's the Practical time and let's see. How could you do that?
So on my terminal you can see I have run the
command which is apt show filezilla.
This command is used to show more information or
description about any specific package
or tool.
Filezilla as a tool which is used to connect
over FTP from a client to server to
securely transfer the files between the two
systems.
Here we are going to see how can we install filezilla and
how can we use it and remove it?
Here as I have mentioned, this is the detailed description
about the tool.
Now I'm going to install filezilla in my
system using the command that we have learned.
So apt install filezilla will install the program for
you. It will ask you to confirm that you wish
to install this tool. I'm going to press Y, which
means yes.
As you can see it has successfully installed
the tool in my system.
Let's go and search for filezilla to confirm if it
is installed.
I'm going to click on the search and I'm going to search for filezilla.
Let's open it. And yes, we can see successfully. The
tool is installed from here. We can
connect to the FTP server and successfully perform FTP.
now
Let us remove this tool, so I'm going to go back to
my terminal and I'm going to type the command ABT remove
the package that we have installed just
now, which is filezilla.
We have to again confirm by pressing Y
and it is going to remove that package.
Let us go back to the search and find filezilla and
you can see if you are unable to find it which confirms
that the tool has successfully been removed. So this
was it for this lesson. I hope you guys understood how
to install and remove packages in
your Linux system. Thank you.
