Managing Packages with apt
A common task that Linux system administrators face is to determine what packages are already installed on the system. The apt list command displays all the packages available in the repository, but by adding the ‐‐installed option, you can limit the output to only those packages already installed on your system.
$ apt --installed list Listing… accountsservice/focal-updates,focal-security,now 0.6.55-0ubuntu12~20.04.4 amd64 [installed,automatic] adduser/focal,now 3.118ubuntu2 all [installed,automatic] alsa-topology-conf/focal,now 1.2.2-1 all [installed,automatic] alsa-ucm-conf/focal-updates,now 1.2.2-1ubuntu0.4 all [installed,automatic] amd64-microcode/focal,now 3.20191218.1ubuntu1 amd64 [installed,automatic] apparmor/focal-updates,now 2.13.3-7ubuntu5.1 amd64 [installed,automatic] apport-symptoms/focal,now 0.23 all [installed,automatic] apport/focal-updates,focal-security,now 2.20.11-0ubuntu27.12 all [installed,automatic] … $
As you can guess, the list of installed packages will be long, so we've abbreviated the output to show just a sample of what the output looks like. Next to the package name is additional information about the package, such as the version name, and whether the package is installed and flagged for automatic upgrades.
If you already know the package name and want to quickly display detailed information about it, use the show command.
apt show package_name
Here's an example of displaying the details of the package zsh :
$ apt show zsh Package: zsh Version: 5.8-3ubuntu1 Priority: optional Section: shells Origin: Ubuntu Maintainer: Ubuntu Developers <[email protected]> Original-Maintainer: Debian Zsh Maintainers <[email protected]> Bugs: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+filebug Installed-Size: 2,390 kB Depends: zsh-common (= 5.8-3ubuntu1), libc6 (>= 2.29), libcap2 (>= 1:2.10), libtinfo6 (>= 6) Recommends: libgdbm6 (>= 1.16), libncursesw6 (>= 6), libpcre3 Suggests: zsh-doc Homepage: https://www.zsh.org/ Download-Size: 707 kB APT-Sources: http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal/main amd64 Packages Description: shell with lots of features Zsh is a UNIX command interpreter (shell) usable as an interactive login shell and as a shell script command processor. Of the standard shells, zsh most closely resembles ksh but includes many enhancements. Zsh has command-line editing, built-in spelling correction, programmable command completion, shell functions (with autoloading), a history mechanism, and a host of other features. $
The apt show command does not indicate that the package is installed on the system. It shows only detailed package information from the software repository. One detail you cannot get with apt is a listing of all the files associated with a particular software package. To get this list, you will need to go to the dpkg command itself.
dpkg -L package_name
Here's an example of using dpkg to list all the files installed as part of the apt‐utils package:
$ dpkg -L apt-utils /. /usr /usr/bin /usr/bin/apt-extracttemplates /usr/bin/apt-ftparchive /usr/bin/apt-sortpkgs /usr/lib /usr/lib/apt /usr/lib/apt/planners /usr/lib/apt/planners/apt /usr/lib/apt/solvers /usr/lib/apt/solvers/apt … $
You can also do the reverse—find what package a particular file belongs to, as shown here:
dpkg --search absolute_file_name
Note that you need to use an absolute file reference for this to work.
$ dpkg --search /usr/bin/apt-ftparchive apt-utils: /usr/bin/apt-ftparchive $
The output shows the apt‐ftparchive file was installed as part of the apt‐utils package.
Installing Software Packages with apt
Now that you know more about listing software package information on your system, this section walks you through a software package installation. First, you'll want to determine the package name to install. How do you find a particular software package? Use apt with the search command.
apt search package_name
The beauty of the search command is that you do not need to insert wildcards around package_name. Wildcards are implied. By default, the search command displays packages that contain the search term in either the package name or the package description, which can be misleading at times. If you want to limit the output to only package names, include the ‐‐names‐only option.
$ apt --names-only search zsh Sorting… Done Full Text Search… Done fizsh/focal,focal 1.0.9-1 all Friendly Interactive ZSHell zsh/focal 5.8-3ubuntu1 amd64 shell with lots of features zsh-antigen/focal,focal 2.2.3-2 all manage your zsh plugins zsh-autosuggestions/focal,focal 0.6.4-1 all Fish-like fast/unobtrusive autosuggestions for zsh zsh-common/focal,focal 5.8-3ubuntu1 all architecture independent files for Zsh zsh-dev/focal 5.8-3ubuntu1 amd64 shell with lots of features (development files) zsh-doc/focal,focal 5.8-3ubuntu1 all zsh documentation - info/HTML format zsh-static/focal 5.8-3ubuntu1 amd64 shell with lots of features (static link) zsh-syntax-highlighting/focal,focal 0.6.0-3 all Fish shell like syntax highlighting for zsh zsh-theme-powerlevel9k/focal,focal 0.6.7-2 all powerlevel9k is a theme for zsh which uses powerline fonts zshdb/focal,focal 1.1.2-1 all debugger for Z-Shell scripts $
Once you find the package you'd like to install, installing it using apt is as easy as this:
sudo apt install <?i Start?>package_name<?i End?>
Since installing new software requires root privileges, you must use the sudo command in Ubuntu. The output will show basic information about the package and ask if you want to proceed with the installation.
INSTALLING SOFTWARE USING APT
Using the apt command makes installing software in Ubuntu easy. In this exercise, you'll install the Z shell on your Ubuntu server.
1 Log into your Linux system as the sysadmin account created in Chapter 2, “Installing an Ubuntu Server.”
2 From the command prompt, enter the command sudo apt install zsh. The sudo command is required to allow your user to run the apt command with root user privileges. Enter your user password when prompted. You should see something similar to this output: [sudo] password for sysadmin: Reading package lists… Done Building dependency tree Reading state information… Done The following additional packages will be installed: zsh-common Suggested packages: zsh-doc The following NEW packages will be installed: zsh zsh-common 0 upgraded, 2 newly installed, 0 to remove and 56 not upgraded.

3 Test the install by entering the command zsh. You will see a menu prompting if you want to customize your Z shell environment. Enter 0 to use the default configuration. You should then get the Z shell prompt. ubuntu-server%
4 Return to your normal Bash Shell by typing the command exit.
