How to Install Apps on Linux: Ubuntu 24.04 Package Manager Guide
Following up on our previous video teaching step-by-step how to install Ubuntu 24.04 on a laptop, this tutorial covers exactly how to get software onto your new system.
A package manager is essentially the Linux version of an app store, but it operates entirely through the terminal. Instead of searching the web for installer files, a package manager securely downloads, installs, updates, and removes software directly from central, trusted servers.
On Ubuntu, the default package manager is called APT. In this video, we look at a practical example and use the terminal to install the basic compiler tools needed for C++ programming.
