| 00:01 | Welcome to the spoken tutorial on how to use Synaptic Package Manager. |
| 00:07 | In this tutorial, we will learn to install applications in BOSS Linux 3.4.2 using Synaptic Package Manager. |
| 00:18 | Here I am using BOSS Linux 3.4.2 with gnome environment desktop. |
| 00:26 | You will need administrative rights to use Synaptic Package Manager. |
| 00:32 | You should also have a working Internet connection. |
| 00:36 | So, first let us open Synaptic Package Manager. |
| 00:41 | Let me minimize the window. You can see the BOSS desktop here. |
| 00:48 | Now, go to Applications >> System Tools >> Administration |
| 00:56 | and then click on Synaptic Package Manager. |
| 01:00 | Now, an authentication dialog box appears, asking for the 'admin password'. |
| 01:06 | Let us type the admin password and press Enter. |
| 01:11 | When we use the Synaptic Package Manager for the first time, an introduction dialog box appears. |
| 01:19 | This dialog box has information on how to use Synaptic Package Manager. |
| 01:25 | If you are working under proxy network then configure the Proxy in Synaptic Package Manager for installing an application or package. |
| 01:36 | Else, you can skip these proxy configuration setting. |
| 01:41 | To do this, let us switch to Synaptic Package Manager window. |
| 01:47 | Now, go to Setting and click on Preferences. |
| 01:54 | There are several tabs on Preferences window. |
| 01:58 | Click on Network tab to configure the proxy settings. |
| 02:03 | There are two options under the Proxy Server– Direct Connection to the internet and Manual Proxy Configuration. |
| 02:12 | I am using Manual Proxy Configuration as you can see here. |
| 02:17 | You may select your preferred option and click on Authentication button. |
| 02:23 | HTTP Authentication window appears on the screen. |
| 02:28 | Enter username and password if required and click on OK. |
| 02:33 | Now click on Apply to apply the changes. |
| 02:37 | Then, click on OK to close the window. |
| 02:42 | To learn how to use this tool, I shall now install vlc player as an example. |
| 02:49 | If you are using the Synaptic Package Manager for the first time, you need to reload the packages. |
| 02:57 | To do this, click on Reload button on the tool bar. |
| 03:02 | This may take a few seconds. |
| 03:06 | Here, we can see that the packages are being transferred via Internet and are getting updated. |
| 03:14 | Once reloading is complete, go to the Quick search box which is in the tool bar and type vlc. |
| 03:23 | Here, we can see all the packages are listed. |
| 03:28 | Click on the check box next to the vlc packages. |
| 03:33 | Now select the option Mark for installation from the menu bar that appears. |
| 03:39 | A dialog box appears showing the list of repository packages. |
| 03:45 | Click on Mark button to mark all the dependencies automatically. |
| 03:51 | Go to the tool bar and click on the Apply button. |
| 03:56 | A Summary window appears showing the details of the packages to be installed. |
| 04:02 | Click on Apply button to start the installation. |
| 04:07 | The installation time depends on the number and size of the packages to be installed. |
| 04:16 | Downloading Package File window will be closed as soon as the installation gets completed. |
| 04:25 | We can see that vlc is now installed . |
| 04:29 | Close the Synaptic Package Manager window. |
| 04:33 | Now, let us verify if the vlc-player has been successfully installed on our machine. |
| 04:40 | Let me minimize the screen. For this, let us go to Applications >> Sound & Video. |
| 04:49 | Here we can see that VLC media player is listed. |
| 04:54 | This means vlc has been successfully installed. |
| 04:59 | In a similar way, we can install other applications using Synaptic Package Manager. |
