How to use Sudo commands to install software


Using the command "sudo apt install" followed by the specific package or app that you want to use, followed by the inputted password for the use of the Sudo command, will result in the package or app being downloaded and installed. Also to save time at the end of the command you can "-y" to tell apt command to assume the answer to all prompts it would ask when installing would be yes. This is mainly to be used when you know the package or app being installed would only prompt to the user on potential memory/space usage and any application you would be unsure about would be best downloaded without the addition.
