apt
is the easiest way to install application packages for Ubuntu
. These packages are stored in repositories hosted and managed by Ubuntu
. It contains a lot of packages or applications needed for almost every Ubuntu
user, though sometimes packages that you need are not at all available in the default repository or not the version that you need.
To get around this, some users or corporations host packages in third-party repositories which is called PPA
or Personal Package Archives. You can add the repositories to your Ubuntu
system using add-apt-repository
tool and then install the packages using apt
.
