Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Package Management basic operations

As we have described in the new Ubuntu 16.04 feature, Ubuntu's package management commands have changed with the release of Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, and the new system incorporates the APT (advanced packages) used in the Debian project To accomplish a variety of different tasks, the ATP command completely replaces the Apt-get, Apt-cache, and other features we've previously introduced in basic operations for Linux package management. The ATP was created to address the problems encountered by a large number of package management, hoping to end a major drawback similar to Linux's early system dependencies. The ATP command itself, however, is more fragmented, and it is difficult for a novice user to find its Help information. For the past more than 10 years, almost all Debian and Ubuntu users have been using Apt-get for administrative operations such as installing and removing packages. Now everyone should also try to switch to the new APT command.

Note: Ubuntu 16.04 retains the Apt-get series commands to keep up with the habits of older users.
