Advanced
Packaging Tool (APT) is a package manager originally designed for
Debian as a front-end for the dpkg utility. It is used to install or
upgrade all necessary dependent applications so that an RPM package can
be installed.
The APT suite of tools includes a couple of programs. Two of the most commonly used are:
apt-cache – provides information about the Debian package database
apt-get – used to install, upgrade or remove software packages
Several front-ends to APT exist, which provide more advanced installation functions and more intuitive interfaces. These include:
Synaptic Package Manager – GTK+ graphical user interface
Ubuntu Software Center – a GTK+ graphical user interface developed by the Ubuntu project
aptitude – a console client with CLI
KPackage – part of KDE
