Install graphical APT management tools on Ubuntu 17.10 To create a new software package manager
The new version is the graphical front-end of the Ubuntu package management tool apt. It combines simple graphical operations with the powerful functions of the apt-get command line tool. You can use the new software package to install, delete, configure, and upgrade the software package list, browse, sort, search, and manage the software repository, or upgrade the entire system. You can perform a series of operations to form an operation queue and execute them together. The new version will prompt you for possible dependencies (additional software packages required for the software package you selected) and conflicts between the software packages you selected and those installed in the system.
However, no new Package Manager is installed by default in Ubuntu 16.04 and 17.10.
The installation is simple. Open the terminal and run the following command:
Sudo apt-get install synaptic
Start:
The new main window is divided into three parts: a package browser on the left, a package list on the top right, and package details on the bottom right. The status bar displays the overall status of your system.
