• First, we need to update our repository

$ apt-get update

• Install a package

$ apt-get install APPNAME

• Check if a package is already installed

$ dpkg -l | grep APPNAME

• Remove a package

$ apt-get remove APPNAME

• Search packages by a keyword

$ apt-cache search “KEYWORD”

---

Service management

• Check if a service is running

$ systemctl status APPNAME

• Start a service

$ systemctl start APPNAME

• Stop a service

$ systemctl stop APPNAME

• Restart a service

$ systemctl restart APPNAME 

• Check autostart enable

$ systemctl is-enabled APPNAME 

• Enable autostart
