| 00:01 | Hello and welcome to the spoken tutorial on Installing Software in Ubuntu Linux 16.04 Operating System. |
| 00:10 | In this tutorial, we will learn how to install software in Ubuntu Linux 16.04 Operating System via:
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. |
| 00:46 | Synaptic Package Manager is a graphical program for a p t. |
| 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. |
| 02:02 | Press Enter. |
| 02:04 | Now the terminal displays the list of packages to be installed. |
| 02:09 | And, information about the size of the files to be downloaded and disk space after installation. |
| 02:17 | Press Y to confirm this. |
| 02:19 | Press Enter. |
| 02:22 | The installation begins now. Depending upon your internet speed, this may take some time to finish. |
| 02:31 | Now we have successfully installed Synaptic Package Manager. |
| 02:36 | Let us close the terminal. |
| 02:39 | To confirm the installation, go to Dash home. In the search bar, type synaptic. |
| 02:46 | We can see the Synaptic Package Manager icon in the search result. |
| 02:51 | Now let us learn how to install software using Synaptic Package Manager. |
| 02:57 | Click on the Synaptic Package Manager icon. |
| 03:01 | An authentication dialog-box appears asking for the password. |
| 03:06 | Let us type the admin password and press Enter. |
| 03:10 | When we use the Synaptic Package Manager for the first time, an introduction dialog-box appears. |
| 03:17 | This dialog-box has information on how to use Synaptic Package Manager. |
| 03:23 | Click on the Close button to close this dialog-box. |
| 03:27 | Let us configure Proxy and Repository in Synaptic Package Manager. |
| 03:33 | We have to do this before installing an application or package. |
| 03:38 | Go to Settings and click on Preferences. |
| 03:42 | There are several tabs on the Preferences window which appears on the screen. |
| 03:48 | Click on Network to configure the Proxy settings. |
| 03:52 | There are two options under the Proxy Server – Direct Connection and Manual Proxy. |
| 04:00 | I will be using Direct Connection.
You may select your preferred option. |
| 04:06 | Click on the OK button at the bottom to close the window. |
| 04:11 | Now, again go to Setting and click on Repositories. |

| 06:39 | In the search bar, type vlc. |
| 06:42 | We can see the VLC icon in the displayed list.
Click on it to open it. |
| 06:49 | Likewise, we can install other applications using Synaptic Package Manager. |
| 06:56 | Next we will learn how to install software via Ubuntu Software Center. |
| 07:02 | Ubuntu Software Centre is an application that allows us to manage software on Ubuntu Linux OS. |
| 07:10 | You can use it to search, download, install, update or uninstall a software. |
| 07:17 | It also gives you information about the software even before you use it. |
| 07:23 | To open Ubuntu Software Center, go to the launcher. |

| 07:47 | This will help us to search the available software. |
| 07:51 | Now, let us install the software Inkscape. |
| 07:55 | In the search bar, type inkscape. |
| 07:59 | A short information about Inkscape is displayed. |
| 08:03 | Now, click on the Install button at the right corner. |
| 08:07 | The Authentication dialog box appears. |

| 08:16 | The progress bar indicates that Inkscape is being installed. |
| 08:21 | Installation may take a while depending on the number and size of the packages being installed. |
| 08:28 | The progress is also indicated in the Installed tab at the top.
Click on it. |
| 08:35 | You can access other applications while any installation is being done. |
| 08:41 | Click on the word Inkscape. |
| 08:44 | This will display the information about Inkscape. |
| 08:48 | Once Inkscape is installed, we can see two buttons Remove and Launch next to it. |
| 08:55 | If you want to uninstall the software, simply click on the Remove button. |
| 09:00 | To launch the application, click on the Launch button.
Let me click on it. |
| 09:06 | This will launch the Inkscape application. |
| 09:10 | Go back to Ubuntu Software Center.
Click on the back arrow button at the top left, and come back to the main screen. |
