Like the apt-get command, the aptitude command is an extremely powerful package management tool in Debian Linux and its derivative systems. Unlike apt-get, aptitude is better at dealing with dependencies.

Add: for example, when aptitude deletes a package, it also deletes the package it depends on. In this way, useless packets will not be left in the system, and the whole system is cleaner. It manages the software package through text operation menus and commands.

Syntax aptitude (options) (parameters) option-h: display help information;-d: download only software packages, do not perform installation operations;-P: confirm each step;-y: answer "yes" for all questions;-v: display additional information;-u: download a list of new packages at startup. Parameter operation command: the user manages the operation command of the software package.

As an example, the following are some common aptitude commands I have summarized for reference only:

Aptitude update # Update the list of available packages aptitude upgrade # upgrade the available packages aptitude dist-upgrade # upgrade the system to the new distribution aptitude install pkgname # installation packages aptitude remove pkgname # delete packages aptitude purge pkgname # delete packages and their configuration files aptitude search string # search packages aptitude show pkgname # display package details aptitude clean # Delete downloaded package files aptitude autoclean # delete only expired package files of course You can also use aptitude in text interface mode.
