# How to Install Apps Using Terminal in Ubuntu 22.10


Using terminal is the easiest way to install apps in linux

## Installing apps

To install apps use the following command:

```
$ sudo apt install packageName
```

*Replace packageName with the name of the package*

## Uninstalling apps 

### Using remove

To uninstall apps use the following command:

```
$ sudo apt remove packageNamudo/
```

*Replace packageName with the name of the package*

**or**

### Using purge

```
$ sudo apt purge packageName
```

*Replace packageName with the name of the package*

### Difference between *remove* & *purge*

The primary difference being ‘remove‘ and ‘purge‘ is that ‘remove‘ only gets rid of the package leaving any configuration files untouched. Whereas ‘purge‘ not only removes the package but also removes all configuration files OUTSIDE THE HOME DIRECTORY.
