00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:01,350
Hello there, you beautiful people.

2
00:00:01,350 --> 00:00:08,010
And welcome to this section of the course all about how to install and manage software on a Linux computer.

3
00:00:08,010 --> 00:00:12,780
Now Linux is an open source operating system and the great thing about that is that there are around

4
00:00:12,780 --> 00:00:19,470
the world millions and millions of software developers who are creating software and all kinds of fantastic

5
00:00:19,470 --> 00:00:22,950
stuff and making it available for free for people to download.

6
00:00:23,100 --> 00:00:23,700
So that's pretty cool.

7
00:00:23,700 --> 00:00:25,530
That means we can benefit from that a little bit.

8
00:00:25,530 --> 00:00:30,960
Now, Linux has some amazing ways for you to gain access to this software, and in this section I'm

9
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:32,340
going to show you how to do it.

10
00:00:32,340 --> 00:00:36,810
So in this section you're going to start off with a tour of what open source actually means.

11
00:00:36,810 --> 00:00:41,010
And you're going to show we're going to show you how you can see the actual source code for some commands

12
00:00:41,010 --> 00:00:43,230
that you've already seen in the course.

13
00:00:43,230 --> 00:00:49,770
And then you'll learn how to use the software repositories to search for and install new software,

14
00:00:49,770 --> 00:00:54,060
keep that software up to date and also how to remove it when you no longer need it.

15
00:00:54,060 --> 00:00:55,800
So we're going to show you the whole package.

16
00:00:55,800 --> 00:01:00,840
Now, usually when talking about software management on Linux courses, just tell you into this command

17
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:04,830
and this command and this command, which, you know, you just got to memorize it, which is useful

18
00:01:04,830 --> 00:01:10,200
in all, but it never really shows you the meaning behind it or leaves you feeling like you actually

19
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:14,790
understand what you're doing and why you're using a certain command.

20
00:01:14,790 --> 00:01:19,770
So in this section, you're not only going to understand what commands to run, you'll also understand

21
00:01:20,010 --> 00:01:25,650
how your software manager is working under the hood to help you install, update and manage software

22
00:01:25,650 --> 00:01:27,450
in your new Linux system.

23
00:01:27,780 --> 00:01:32,880
So by the end of this section, you have a wonderfully in-depth and practical understanding of software

24
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:38,100
managers, and you'll also have the practical know how to get more shiny new toys to play with than

25
00:01:38,100 --> 00:01:39,990
you can possibly imagine.

26
00:01:39,990 --> 00:01:43,950
So for all that good stuff, I'll see you in the next video.
