There are three main package management programs you can use in Xubuntu:

7.

<link linkend="gnome-app-install">Add/Remove Applications</link> - Quickly installs and removes popular programs, as well as providing ratings.

8.

<link linkend="synaptic">Synaptic</link> - Allows more advanced management, such as installing server applications and choosing different versions of the same package.

9.

<link linkend="apt">Apt</link> - Allows package management from the command line.

10.

You can only use one package manager at a time. If you start another package manager while one is already open, you will receive an error message.

11.

You will require administrative access to install and remove software. This is because packages sometimes need to change important system files. See the <link linkend="administrative"><application>Administrative Tasks</application></link> section for more information on administrative access.

Common package-management terms

13.

If you are unfamiliar with Xubuntu's package management system, you may like to take a look at some of the following definitions.

14.

<emphasis role="strong">Packages</emphasis> are files which contain a program and all of the files required to run it on your computer. When you install a package, a file is downloaded from a repository and installed by a package manager.

15.

<emphasis role="strong">Dependencies</emphasis> are packages which must be installed before certain other packages can be installed. Dependency packages usually contain some files and programs needed by the other packages - for example, a word-processing package may depend on a printing package being installed in order to be able to print documents.
