Summary
In this chapter, we learned about low-level and high-level package managers used by popular Linux distributions. We learned how to install and remove packages using DNF and APT and how to perform a system upgrade. We also learned how to inspect package files by hand and interpret their internal structure—while that task is much less frequent, it’s important to know to have a deeper understanding of software packaging and the package management process. However, package managers offer a lot of additional options and capabilities, so make sure to read their documentation.
In the next chapter, we will learn about network configuration and debugging in Linux systems.
