# APT
|
|
|
|
In [Debian](/wiki/linux/debian.md) the APT package manager is used.
|
|
It is also used for various Debian-based distributions.
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
This section addresses various usages of the APT package manager.
|
|
|
|
### Updating & Upgrading
|
|
|
|
This section addresses the updating of all packages managed by APT.
|
|
To update the packages it is recommended to first update the package list with the following
|
|
command.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
apt update
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Afterwards there are two possible update types without changing the major release version.
|
|
|
|
The following command - `upgrade` - updates the packages only if no new or previously removed dependencies are
|
|
needed.
|
|
It is generally used for day-to-day updating without bigger jumps between versions.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
apt upgrade
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The other option is `full-upgrade` which was previously also known as `dist-upgrade`.
|
|
This command will also install, remove and replace dependencies if it is needed to update the
|
|
package.
|
|
It is mostly used for bigger updates like Kernel or release upgrade without changing the major
|
|
version.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
apt full-upgrade
|
|
```
