? About Mintupdate

[MikeB]

I uninstalled Update manager a couple of weeks ago and installed mintupdate..The lock icon is in the panel and I can open it up, refresh, etc.
but haven't received any updates yet.
Should there have been some by now ? Just wondered if it's working.

Hi,

You can check manually to see if there are updates, in a terminal type:

apt update
apt upgrade

Well, I know this must be a noobie thing , but when I type apt update or apt upgrade I get" bash: apt: command not found".
Could you straighten me out ?
Thanks.

I see your problem: if you type in Terminal: man apt - you will see the answer to your question! Try apt-get instead.
Have a look at its manual first - man apt-get - then try apt-get update and apt-get upgrade.

I haven't found an easy way of returning to the command line after opening a manual - easiest to open a new terminal.

I'm a Newbie too. Hope this helps.

Thanks T J,
I finally discovered I had to use apt-get after I fumbled around awhile.
