Debian/Ubunt Package Installation from Default Repositories.

Before you Begin

Note: This is meant to be a building upon the previous posts with minimal repetition, the previous post has relevant information,

Your chosen distribution will have a default package depository in which the "apt" (or apt-get) will retrieve packages maintained by the fine folks who maintain your Linux distro. I am using Ubuntu Server 18.04 LTS to create this post, if your experience may vary with different versions and distributions. Also remember to update your package list and upgrade your existing packages: with the "sudo apt update" and "sudo apt upgrade" commands  Alsot note: This is meant to be a building upon the previous posts with minimal repetition, the previous post has relevant information,

Finding Packages Names

"apt list <argument>".

The argument can include full names or partial names with a * character at the beginning and/or end of the partial word.

To Install Packages

"sudo apt install <package name>"

To Remove Packages

'apt remove <package name>"

 

Note: I used Telnet simply as an example, I do not suggest using telnet outside of legacy situations or during the configuration process.  It is a rather insecure protocol and old protocol that should only be used when there are no other options or in a learning lab environment.
