Advanced Packaging Tool

So when you see online, apt install, whatever package, you know, it could be.

VirtualBox or whatever it might be, it's just going to go out to the repository and install that program for you.

So when you see the APT command, you're almost always dealing with a Debian based system.

And most of those are universal for all these distributions.

However, the two main distributions you should be focused on is Debian and Ubuntu.

Yeah.

If you're on a Debian-based system like Ubuntu, you use a tool called APT, and if you're on a Red Hat system, you use Yum or DNF.

Mm.

But I want to explore why these exist.
