We can install extra software using the Ubuntu Software Center. Software is unified according to the capability to handle it and by how nicely it meets the aims of software philosophy at no cost. But if we are interested in knowing more about the distinct types of software we add, we can continue with the article. Software in the repository of Ubuntu is categorized into four different components or categories- main, universe, restricted, and the multiverse.Īlmost all people will utilize the Ubuntu Software Center for installing the software they wish. We can visit and browse the internet for source code and packages, but almost every time, it will be hard to install and integrate with a system.It is important to understand that almost every tool we will wish to utilize in Ubuntu is already in the repositories of Ubuntu.Generally, we wish to have at least the repositories of Ubuntu (which may contain the install CD), but it's not to have other repositories set up in Ubuntu.The tools offer a centralized and simple technique of software installation and provide the distributors (who configured the repositories) with a centralized path to transfer updates to our software.Also, they let us find simple things, such as 'image editor'.The tools can mention every package we have installed (through our kernel to our favorite application with every in-between library) and packages that are present in the repositories that we have set up the tool to access to.Generally, we access them using tools such as Synaptic. Repositories can be described as servers that include groups of packages. These types of files can be downloaded or offered on CDs. deb files, which include the libraries and programs we need.

On many systems, such as Ubuntu, almost every software is packaged in good. There is a few software distributed this way for open and free systems like Ubuntu Linux/GNU, but those are mostly closed and proprietary programs. We are probably used to software distributed on DVDs, CDs, etc., which have the autorun aspect from where we can install them. If we have been a macOS and/or Windows user to date, we are probably finding a program over the internet (often provided in an executable installer) and needing to download and install it.
