Terminal, |
| 00:21 | Synaptic Package Manager and Ubuntu Software Center. |
| 00:27 | To record this tutorial, I’m using Ubuntu Linux 16.04 Operating System. |
| 00:34 | To proceed with this tutorial, you must be connected to the internet. |
| 00:39 | You need to be a System Administrator or have Administrator rights to install software. |

| 00:51 | It is a GUI for the apt-get command line utility. |
| 00:57 | By default, Synaptic Package Manager will not be pre-installed in Ubuntu Linux 16.04. |
| 01:05 | So, let us learn how to install it via terminal. |
| 01:10 | Open the terminal by pressing Ctrl, Alt and T keys together on your keyboard. |
| 01:18 | Now, in the terminal, type: sudo space a p t hyphen get space install space s y n a p
and press the Tab key. |
| 01:34 | This will display list of software that starts with s y n a p. |
| 01:40 | Now complete the word as synaptic
and press Enter. |
| 01:46 | You will be prompted to enter your administrator password. |
| 01:51 | Enter your admin password. |
| 01:54 | While typing password in the terminal, it will not be visible to us.
So, type it carefully. |
