You don't need to use sudo with apt-cache. Also, on Linux Mint you can just use short-hand:
apt search packagename
Run
apt
command to see what else it can do.I think you also don't need to use
apt-get
, you can use only apt
, so sudo apt install (name of package)
is way faster to type and does the same thing as sudo apt-get install (name of package)
.apt help install something
to understand.i like this step by step online installation guide, thx for thatmarksmith121 wrote: ⤴Tue Oct 06, 2020 5:59 am Check this out, for install software on Linux Mint

Users will soon realize that some of their favourite software has come in new version with shiny new features that is most wanted, and will search for means to get them available. Answers found may often be one or more of the three mentioned mechanism. Some clarifications of what they are and pro and cons about their use would be beneficial, I believe.

No to both questions.verbosity9 wrote: ⤴Sat Jul 03, 2021 2:20 am Does this infer that any software that does not appear in 'Software Manager' is not recommended/accepted, or is not compatible with the particular flavour of Linux?
