Installing a package from repository:
<source lang="bash">
apt-get update # (OPTIONAL) update the local repository cache
apt-get install <package(s)> # Install given package
apt-get upgrade # Install new version of all installed package (without installing new package)
apt-get remove <package(s)> # Remove package (or install it if package name prefixed with - )
apt-get purge <package(s)> # Remove package and related configuration files
apt-get autoremove # Remove package installed to satisfy dependencies for some package and that are no more needed
</source>

Querying packages that are installed / from cache repository:
<source lang=bash>
dpkg --get-selections # Show the list of packages installed through apt-get
dpkg --get-selections | grep php # ... filtering for some specific package keyword
dpkg -L <package> # List files delivered by a given <package>
dlocate -L <package> # ... same as above but much faster (require package dlocate)
dpkg -S <file> # List packages providing given file
dlocate -S <file> # ... same as above but much faster (require package dlocate)
dlocate <file> # ... same as dpkg -L -S combined but much faster (require package dlocate)
apt-cache search <regex> # Search package cache (package name and description) for given <regex>
apt-cache showpkg <package(s)> # Show information about given package(s)
</source>

Querying / Installing a .deb package file:
<source lang=bash>
dpkg --info <debfile> # (or -I) Show information of given .deb file
dpkg --content <debfile> # (or -c) Show content of given .deb file
dpkg --install <debfile> # (or -i) Install a package from given .deb file
</source>

To add a repository:
* edit file <tt>/etc/apt/sources.list</tt> ou <tt>sources.list.d/</tt>, then <code>apt-get update</code>.

To add a package authentication key:
<source lang="bash">
gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv 247D1CFF # (optional) Get the key from some keyserver
gpg --export --armor 247D1CFF | sudo apt-key add - # Add the key
</source>

;Installing build dependencies

<source lang=bash>
sudo apt-get build-dep udisks
</source>

;Installing as a package
: Instead of installing with <code>make install</code>, use <code>[https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall checkinstall]</code> to create a temporary package that can later be uninstalled with the package manager.
<source lang="bash">
./configure
make
sudo checkinstall # Creates a package and install it as if 'sudo make install' was run

#... to uninstall:
sudo dpkg -r <packagename>
</source>
:Note that <tt>checkinstall</tt> can actually run any arbitrary command and monitor change on the file system.

Ubuntu / Debian

See apt.

RPM's

rpm -ivh package                    # Installing a package - verbose and progress bars
rpm -iv -nodeps package             # Installing a package (verbose), ignore dependencies
  • Query commands
rpm -ql package                     # List files provided by a package
  • To query a package that has not been installed, add -p option to the command:
rpm -qpl package                    # List files provided by a package

Source package

Installing from source package is usually done with

./configure
make
sudo make install

Usually ./configure --help gives additional package configuration options (like installing documentation, etc).

Installing build dependencies
Building from sources usually requires more dependencies than using the package. If the package is available on the distribution, the easiest way to install these dependencies is usually via apt-get build-dep:
sudo apt-get build-dep udisks
Installing as a package
Instead of installing with make install, use checkinstall to create a temporary package that can later be uninstalled with the package manager.
./configure
make
sudo checkinstall                  # Creates a package and install it as if 'sudo make install' was run

#... to uninstall:
sudo dpkg -r <packagename>
Note that checkinstall can actually run any arbitrary command and monitor change on the file system.
