There are several ways to install software on Ubuntu: 1. Using the apt command: apt is a package management tool in Ubuntu that allows you to install software through the command line. Use the following command to install software:

  sudo apt install 软件包名称

For example, you can install the Chrome browser using the following command:

  sudo apt install google-chrome-stable

2. Install using Software Center: Ubuntu comes with a Software Center that allows you to install software through a graphical interface. Simply open the Software Center, search for the software you want to install, and then click on the Install button.
3. Install using PPA: Some software may not be available in the official software sources, but they can be installed by adding a PPA. PPA stands for Personal Package Archive, which can provide updated software and libraries. Use the following command to add a PPA:

  sudo add-apt-repository ppa:PPA名称

Then install the software using the apt command. Alternatively, you can install using a .deb package by running the following command.

  sudo dpkg -i 软件.deb

Then solve the dependency issues using the following command:

  sudo apt install -f

Here are some common methods for installing software on Ubuntu.
