There are many software package managers in Linux, the popular Synaptic Software Package Manager. This software package manager is translated as the new software package manager in Ubuntu. As Ubuntu is recommended, so the following will focus on how to use the new software package manager in Ubuntu. As for more information about the software package, don't worry.

Wait for a moment to see the process of obtaining administrator permissions. In the dialog box "you need to grant administrative permissions to install software", enter the current user password. Note that, enter the logon password of the current user, temporarily obtain the Administrator permission, and click "OK.

After obtaining the Administrator permission, you can start the installation. In Linux, It is boring that only the Administrator has the permission to perform installation, configuration, and other operations.

The so-called sudo mechanism is to temporarily grant the Administrator permission to a common user. After a common user enters his/her password, the Administrator permission is granted to the sudo user for five minutes by default, this is sufficient for the installation operation, which not only requires administrator permissions, but also reduces the number of times the administrator password is used, thus improving the system security. Enter the password of the current user and you will be able to see the management interface of the new profit software package.
