Ubuntu Basic Commands



Many of us know that the Ubuntu has a lot of commands and probably the question is how many of them using it properly, I hope i am still not, but i am trying to do every thing in the Terminal so that i could use the commands often .


                       Last year i had computer practical on the unix shell programming and i was great in those things by writing the coding but i have been thinking and writing a scripts to install major apps in shell scripts and here some of them know that .

Please remember ubuntu uses the .deb package to install apps, so you have to be sure that you are downloading the packages only in .deb . Else you have to use alien plugin to convert the .rpm or .dmg to .deb . 

 | sudo -s |  - - which is used to become root user .

               probably i hope so i did ,

    Here i am gonna say about the commands for installing some major apps

VLC :
           sudo add-apt-repository ppa:lucid-bleed/ppa
           sudo apt-get update     
           sudo apt-get install vlc

(* Remember while writing in terminal you should be root user to install this so only sudo has been used )




GIMP - You know this is like a photoshop where you can merge your photo with other and some good mystical features are also available in this , To download use the below command .


          sudo apt-get install gimp


Dosbox - Now dosbox is used as a MS-Dos where you can run some fundamental applications like turbo c, c++ or some light weight app's .

        sudo apt-get install dos-box

 To download and install googlechrome 

later :)
