Hello there, you beautiful people.
And welcome to this section of the course all about how to install and manage software on a Linux computer.
Now Linux is an open source operating system and the great thing about that is that there are around
the world millions and millions of software developers who are creating software and all kinds of fantastic
stuff and making it available for free for people to download.
So that's pretty cool.
That means we can benefit from that a little bit.
Now, Linux has some amazing ways for you to gain access to this software, and in this section I'm
going to show you how to do it.
So in this section you're going to start off with a tour of what open source actually means.
And you're going to show we're going to show you how you can see the actual source code for some commands
that you've already seen in the course.
And then you'll learn how to use the software repositories to search for and install new software,
keep that software up to date and also how to remove it when you no longer need it.
So we're going to show you the whole package.
Now, usually when talking about software management on Linux courses, just tell you into this command
and this command and this command, which, you know, you just got to memorize it, which is useful
in all, but it never really shows you the meaning behind it or leaves you feeling like you actually
understand what you're doing and why you're using a certain command.
So in this section, you're not only going to understand what commands to run, you'll also understand
how your software manager is working under the hood to help you install, update and manage software
in your new Linux system.
So by the end of this section, you have a wonderfully in-depth and practical understanding of software
managers, and you'll also have the practical know how to get more shiny new toys to play with than
you can possibly imagine.
So for all that good stuff, I'll see you in the next video.
