Tech n Hack :Tips and Tricks with Latest Technology News :)

Hii Folks !!

These days I have switched my operating system to UBUNTU 10.04 from WINDOWS 7. I am loving the easy interactive features of Ubuntu. Before, whenever I switched to Linux platform, I reverted back to Windows OS due to its simplicity or whatever we can say as the habit to work with it.

The most difficulty one faces in using linux is installing applications and softwares. No doubt we are somewhat addicted of using Windows and it’s based applications and so we don’t want to get into unwanted hecks with Linux. But to be true its fun and really you get something different to feel within while using Linux based operating systems like ubuntu or fedora or others.

The easiest way to install applications, programs or softwares in Ubuntu can be done by following steps.

1. Goto SYSTEM

2. Goto SYSTEM- ADMINISTRATION

3. Open SYNAPTIC PACKAGE MANAGER.

4. The window will open and you can see Quick Search filling Box

5. Fill the box with application you want to download in Ubuntu.

6. You will get results below regarding your query with every detail on right hand side.

7. Mark the application you want to download from the search results.

Note :- a) The installed applications have green icon before them in “S” (Status) in SYNAPTIC PACKAGE MANAGER.

b) You can even refine your search from “ALL” menu in left hand side of screen.

Thats all you need to do. Now your downloading will start on its own and will even install package after it gets downloaded.

Another way to Install applications in Ubuntu: -

Open applications and then click over ” UBUNTU SOFTWARE CENTER”.

Search your software and you will get results beneath. Click over install and here you go.

Isn’t that now easy to install applications in Ubuntu ?
