Upgrading software with Apt.

Apt, the Advanced Packaging Tool, is a command line application at the heart of Debian systems which handles the installation, categorization and removal of applications and their dependencies from the software repositories. Apt is available via the Terminal and we can even administrate systems using a remote connection such as SSH.

First use the Apt “update” command to determine the latest updates that are available from our software repositories for purposes of next upgrading those existing installed applications for which updates are available. To upgrade all of our currently installed software applications on Ubuntu, we can then use the “upgrade” command. Using the “upgrade” command along with first using the “update” command, we can ensure that our software repositories are up-to-date, meaning that any new software is at the latest version. So, the following is the two step process of using Apt to update and upgrade existing installed applications:

1. Open a terminal or SSH to the Ubuntu server and use the update command. The update command will update the list of available software application packages for your machine.

$ sudo apt update

2. Run the upgrade command to download and install the latest software. We can use the -y switch to automatically agree to installing the application upgrade, or don't use the -y switch and answer “yes” or “y” when prompted after submitting the upgrade command.

$ sudo apt upgrade -y

We can also chain together these commands into a one line script. Using “&&” between the commands we can instruct the system to chain the commands to run one after the other. The “&&” means that the second command will only run if the first command runs successfully.

$ sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y 

Example of Update and Upgrade:

user@svr1:~$ sudo apt update
