The package manager is the system that manage packages(programs or libraries)

Programs are the main files

Libraries are common programs that other programs use.

Command line package management


GUI package management.

The classic here is Synaptic Package manager. It has not been updated since 2015 so for general use try something else

In KDE we like the Muon Package Manager.

  • It seems pretty current.
