# aptitude
> Debian and Ubuntu package management utility.
> More information: <https://manned.org/aptitude>.
- Synchronize list of packages and versions available. This should be run first, before running subsequent `aptitude` commands:
`sudo aptitude update`
- Install a new package and its dependencies:
`sudo aptitude install {{package}}`
- Search for a package:
`aptitude search {{package}}`
- Search for an installed package (`?installed` is an `aptitude` search term):
`aptitude search '?installed({{package}})'`
- Remove a package and all packages depending on it:
`sudo aptitude remove {{package}}`
- Upgrade installed packages to the newest available versions:
`sudo aptitude upgrade`
- Upgrade installed packages (like `aptitude upgrade`) including removing obsolete packages and installing additional packages to meet new package dependencies:
`sudo aptitude full-upgrade`
- Put an installed package on hold to prevent it from being automatically upgraded:
`sudo aptitude hold '?installed({{package}})'`
