Today we are looking at how to install and remove programs via the terminal in Ubuntu 16.04. This will work in Ubuntu 18.04 as well. Please follow the video for a visual guide and the commands and instructions below. Enjoy!
In the video, I used Skype as an example, unfortunately, Skype won't install anymore like this, but you can choose any available package and install it in the same method. To search for all packages, type sudo apt-get install and then press the tab button and you will see everything you can install, it is a lot of packages!
Install packages:
sudo apt-get install packagename
press y or simple enter when the confirmation message appears
press enter to move from command to command in the terminal
when typing your password in the terminal it will seem like nothing appears but it is just a security thing, so just continue to type
if a screen appears inside the terminal while installing then move around with the tab key
Remove packages:
sudo apt-get remove packagename
