What you'll learn

Knowing apt install isn't enough when a dependency conflict, a broken repository, or an unfamiliar snap confinement error brings package management to a halt. In this course, Package Management and Software Installation in Ubuntu Linux, you'll gain the ability to manage the complete software lifecycle on an Ubuntu system. First, you'll explore how to use APT to update, install, remove, and audit packages, and resolve dependency errors when they occur. Next, you'll discover how to work directly with .deb files using dpkg and configure APT repositories, including third-party sources and version pinning. Finally, you'll learn how to install and manage snap packages and understand their confinement model. When you're finished with this course, you'll have the skills and knowledge of Ubuntu package management needed to install, troubleshoot, and maintain software reliably in a professional environment.
