How to install third-party software in Ubuntu.
There are several methods to install third-party software in Ubuntu, and one commonly used method is as follows:
- To install software using the package manager (APT), open the terminal application (Ctrl + Alt + T) and then run the following command to install third-party software, such as Chrome browser.
- Update the system and install Google Chrome stable using the following commands:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install google-chrome-stable - Download and install software packages: Some third-party software may not be available in Ubuntu’s software repository. You can download the software package from their official website and then install it through the terminal, for example, installing TeamViewer.
- Download the teamviewer_amd64.deb file using wget, then install it with the dpkg command and finally, install any missing dependencies with the apt command.
- Install software using PPA repositories: Some software may provide PPA repositories that can be added to the system and then installed through the package manager. For example, to install the Sublime Text editor.
- Adding the repository for Sublime Text 3 from the WebUPD8 team, updating the package lists, and then installing the Sublime Text installer.
These are some common methods, which may vary depending on the specific software installation process. When installing third-party software, be sure to download from a trusted source and pay attention to the software’s security.
