WEBVTT 00:00.540 --> 00:02.550 In the old days of Linux. 00:02.550 --> 00:05.490 Installing software could be a painful experience. 00:05.520 --> 00:11.910 Fortunately, the Linux developers have made life a little easier for us by bundling software into pre-built 00:11.910 --> 00:14.370 packages that are much easier to install. 00:14.400 --> 00:19.620 However, you still have a little work to do to get the software packages installed, especially if 00:19.620 --> 00:21.900 you want to do from the command line. 00:21.900 --> 00:27.810 And in this section of our course we will look at the various package management systems available in 00:27.810 --> 00:34.470 Linux and the command line tools for use for software installation management and removal. 00:34.530 --> 00:39.570 And here I made a little meme for that installing actually it's not that hard to install web browser, 00:39.990 --> 00:41.640 but anyways, so. 00:42.810 --> 00:44.580 A package management primer. 00:47.810 --> 00:48.170 Here. 00:48.170 --> 00:51.230 Actually, we should open that with the Firefox. 00:53.850 --> 00:54.330 Here. 00:54.330 --> 00:59.220 So before diving the world of the Linux software package management. 01:00.520 --> 01:04.780 In this lecture, we will go through the five of the basics first. 01:04.780 --> 01:11.200 So each of the major each of the major Linux distributions utilizes some of some form of package management 01:11.200 --> 01:12.250 system PMS. 01:12.280 --> 01:15.670 So to control installing software applications and libraries. 01:15.670 --> 01:20.800 So a PMS utilizes a database that keeps track of these items. 01:20.950 --> 01:23.590 What software packages are installed on a Linux system? 01:23.590 --> 01:29.410 What files have been installed for each package versions of each of the software packages installed 01:29.410 --> 01:38.920 so software packages are stored on servers and these are called repositories and access across the internet 01:38.920 --> 01:39.850 via PMS. 01:40.150 --> 01:46.720 So as I said, PMS means package management systems, utilities running on your local Linux system and 01:46.720 --> 01:52.570 you can use the PMS utilities to search for a new software packages or even update to software packages 01:52.570 --> 01:55.660 already installed on your system. 01:56.760 --> 02:03.240 So a software package often has dependencies or other packages that must be installed first for the 02:03.240 --> 02:04.590 software to run properly. 02:04.590 --> 02:04.980 Right? 02:04.980 --> 02:11.070 So the package management systems utilities detect these dependencies and offer to install any additional 02:11.070 --> 02:15.450 needed software packages before installing the desired package. 02:16.360 --> 02:23.530 And the downside, The downside to PMS is that there isn't a single standard utility, whereas all the 02:23.530 --> 02:30.470 bash shell commands discussed so far in this course work, no matter which Linux distribution you use. 02:30.490 --> 02:33.910 And this is not true with the software package management systems. 02:33.910 --> 02:40.840 So the PMS utilities and their associated commands are vastly different between various Linux distributions 02:40.840 --> 02:52.030 and the two primary PMS based utilities commonly used for use in the Linux world are the dpkg here the 02:52.270 --> 02:54.250 P key? 02:55.180 --> 02:55.630 G. 02:56.440 --> 02:57.310 And. 02:58.440 --> 02:58.950 The. 03:03.180 --> 03:03.780 He. 03:06.400 --> 03:06.760 M. 03:12.710 --> 03:21.560 And and Debian based distributions such as Ubuntu, Linux, Mint, Kali, Linux Parrot operating system 03:21.560 --> 03:22.700 and others. 03:23.610 --> 03:24.500 Uh, there. 03:25.350 --> 03:27.590 At the base of the PMS utilities. 03:27.600 --> 03:34.680 These are the dpkg command for Kali linux and other ubuntu ubuntu like debian like system and this command 03:34.680 --> 03:42.090 interacts directly with the PMS on the Linux system and is used for installing, managing and removing 03:42.090 --> 03:49.680 software packages and the redhat distributions such as fedora opensource mandriva use. 03:50.620 --> 03:58.960 The RPM command at the base of their package management systems, PMS and similar to the dpkg command, 03:58.960 --> 04:05.680 the RPM command can list installed packages, install new packages and remove existing packages. 04:05.680 --> 04:14.380 And I will also mention that these two commands are the core of their respective PMS and not the entire 04:14.380 --> 04:15.460 PMS itself. 04:15.460 --> 04:24.730 So many Linux distributions that use the dpkg or RPM methods have built additional speciality PMS utilities 04:24.760 --> 04:30.640 upon these base commands to help your your help to make your life easier. 04:30.640 --> 04:34.230 So the this here in this lecture you will learn about. 04:34.240 --> 04:38.530 Firstly, we will learn about the Debian based PMS system. 04:38.530 --> 04:43.030 So thats it with our first lecture and I am waiting you in the next lecture.
