The programs included with the Ubuntu system are free software;
the exact distribution terms for each program are described in the
individual files in /usr/share/doc/*/copyright.
Ubuntu comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY, to the extent permitted by
applicable law.
Ubuntu—like other Debian based distributions—uses APT as a package manager.
APT is built on dpkg.
Type sudo apt update and hit enter to run.
Preceding a command with sudo in a Debian based system is like saying run as an administrator.
