There are many software packages available for Debian – everything from the Linux kernel to games. And their number has been growing with every release.
The Apt (Advanced Package Tool) package management system is a set of tools to download, install, remove, upgrade, configure and manage Debian packages, and therefore all software installed on a Debian system.
