Return to Raspberry Pi OS, Ubuntu package managers or Software installation

There are different ways of installing software from online repositories on your Raspberry Pi, depending on where the source of the software lives.

The most common is through the command line tool APT (Advanced Packaging Tool). Some software can also be installed using other package managers.

Use apt install to install software from the Raspberry Pi OS repository. This has a huge number of software packages available. You can use apt-cache search <search term> to search the database for specific software packages.
