    apt-get update
  • Install a package, or update it to the latest available version:
    apt-get install package
  • Remove a package:
    apt-get remove package
  • Remove a package and its configuration files:
    apt-get purge package
  • Upgrade all installed packages to their newest available versions:
    apt-get upgrade
  • Clean the local repository - removing package files (`.deb`) from interrupted downloads that can no longer be downloaded:
    apt-get autoclean
  • Remove all packages that are no longer needed:
    apt-get autoremove
  • Upgrade installed packages (like `upgrade`), but remove obsolete packages and install additional packages to meet new dependencies:
    apt-get dist-upgrade
