APT
• In Linux, the apt (Advanced Package Tool) is a package management
system used to install, update, and remove software packages. It is
commonly used in Debian-based distributions such as Ubuntu.
• Before installing new software, it's a good practice to update the
package lists to ensure you have the latest information about
available packages. [ apt update ]
• To install a package, use the apt install command followed by the
package name. For example, to install the vim text editor: sudo apt
install vim
• If you want to remove a previously installed package, you can use the
apt remove command

DPKG
• dpkg is the Debian package management system in Linux. It is a low-
level tool that handles the installation, configuration, and removal of
software packages on Debian-based systems, such as Debian itself,
Ubuntu, and related distributions. The name "dpkg" stands for
"Debian Package.“
• To install a Debian package using dpkg, you can use the following
command: sudo dpkg -i package.deb
• To remove a package, use the -r option: sudo dpkg -r package_name
• To remove a package along with its configuration files, use the -P
option: sudo dpkg -P package_name
