In this tutorial i show you how to install and uninstall software within linux lite. As an added "bonus" i also show you how to add a repository and update packages. Most ways of installing are show, Synaptic Package Manager + terminal. Also how to install various file types, such as .run and .deb.
The codes used in terminal:
Wine repository:

Code: Select all

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install win1.5
For .run Files:

Code: Select all

sudo -s
chmod +x filename.run
./filename.run
For .deb files:

Code: Select all

sudo gdebi filename.deb

much love to all

no worries let me know if you need some assistance. but basically linux mint and linux lite are the same as they are both ubuntu/debian based. I am trying to make tut's that work on all ubuntu/debian based distros.
