Episode 8 Package managers

In this episode, we explore some of the capabilities of package managers for installing and updating software on your system. Specifically, we look at the ‘apt’ system on Ubuntu GNU/Linux. On other systems, you might use Yum (RedHat/Fedora), Pacman (Arch), or Homebrew (Mac). This page shows a comparison of commands for several Linux packaging systems: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pacman_Rosetta
