In Ubuntu there are a number of ways to manage your software. \acronym{GUI} tools such as the \application{Ubuntu Software Center} and \application{Synaptic Package Manager} were discussed in \chaplink{ch:software-management}, however, many people prefer to use the \commandlineapp{apt} command (Advanced Packaging Tool) to manage their software from within the terminal. \commandlineapp{Apt} is extremely versatile and encompasses several tools, however, the most commonly used \commandlineapp{apt} tool is \commandlineapp{apt-get}.

The terminal will give you a summary of what packages are to be upgraded, the download size, and how much extra disk space will be used (or freed), and then ask you to confirm before continuing. Simply press \keystroke{y} then \keystroke{Enter}, and the upgrades will be downloaded and installed for you.

Sometimes you might want to install some software that isn't in the official repositories but may be available in a what's called a \acronym{PPA}. \acronym{PPA}s, or personal package archives, contain software that you can install by adding that \acronym{PPA} to your system. In versions of Ubuntu prior to Ubuntu 9.10 adding a \acronym{PPA} to your system meant typing several long commands into a terminal. However, in Ubuntu 9.10 and later, adding a \acronym{PPA} is as easy as typing one short command into a terminal.

Use the terminal to run \commandlineapp{ecryptfs-setup-private} to set up the private folder.

First, insert your Ubuntu \acronym{CD} into your computer and restart it, making sure to have your computer start the operating system that is on the \acronym{CD} itself (see \chaplink{ch:installation}). Next, choose your language and select \textbf{Try Ubuntu}. Wait while the software loads. You will need to type some code to restore your bootloader. On the \textbf{Applications} menu, click \textbf{Accessories}, and then click the \textbf{Terminal} item. Enter the following:

Wait while Ubuntu starts up. You \textit{will not} see a normal login screen. Instead, you will be presented with a terminal prompt that looks something like:

To clear the cache, you can use either the \code{clean}, or the \code{autoclean} option for a command-line program called \commandlineapp{apt-get}. The \code{clean} command will remove every single cached item, while the \code{autoclean} command only removes cached items that can no longer be downloaded (these items are often unnecessary). To run \code{clean}, open \textbf{Terminal} and type:
