Line 15: Line 16:
APT resolves dependency problems and retrieves requested packages from designated [[DebianRepository|package repositories]]. APT delegates the actual installation and removal of packages to [[dpkg]]. APT is primarily used by [[WikiPedia:Command-line interface|commandline]] tools, but

 * there are many [[WikiPedia:GUI|GUI]] tools to let you use APT without having to touch the command line.
 * tools like [[aptitude]] can interact with APT via both command line and [[WikiPedia:Text-based user interface|TUI]] interfaces.

=== Tools ===

 * [[AptCLI]] - basics of using APT on the commandline
 * [[apt-get]] - probably the most widely-used APT commandline tool
 * [[aptitude]] - a tool that can (among other things) drive APT from commandline or TUI
 * [[Synaptic]] - a graphical APT package manager

=== Configuration ===

 * [[SourcesList]] - lists package repositories
 * [[AptPreferences]] - details where and when to retrieve packages
 * [[AptConf]] - even more detailed APT configuration

=== Security ===

 * [[SecureApt]] - configure APT to retrieve packages from authenticated repositories

=== Packaging ===

 * [[Packaging]] - information relevant to developers wishing to package software for Debian

=== Other ===

## The APT-HOWTO is already considered outdated by the author himself and even the package for it has been removed. The links to the HOWTO have been removed from the doc section of Debian website although the HOWTO can be reached via a direct link like in this case. See bugs #493787 and #441887
