== Managing software |
|||
|
|||
=== APT |
|||
|
|||
WHAT IS APT? |
|||
|
|||
A packaging system simply provides programs and applications for installation. |
|||
|
|||
APT(Advanced Package Tool) is a command line tool that is the most efficient and preferred way of managing software from the command line for Debian and Debian based Linux distributions like Ubuntu . It manages dependencies effectively, maintains large configuration files and properly handles upgrades and downgrades to ensure system stability. |
|||
|
|||
|
|||
==== Updating Package Database |
|||
|
|||
Before commencing any operations with apt, we need to ensure that our local copy of the database is up-to-date. |
|||
Without this the system won’t know if there are newer packages available or not. |
|||
|
|||
[source,bash] |
|||
---- |
|||
apt-get update |
|||
---- |
|||
|
|||
==== Upgrading Package Database |
|||
|
|||
Once your package database has been updated, you can now upgrade the packages with updates installed on you machine. This will update any applications, and the Ubuntu core system to the latest versions available. |
|||
|
|||
[source,bash] |
|||
---- |
|||
sudo apt-get upgrade |
|||
---- |
|||
|
|||
|
|||
==== SEARCH FOR PACKAGES WITH APT |
|||
|
|||
|
|||
To search for a package you can use the following command: |
|||
|
|||
[source,bash] |
|||
---- |
|||
apt search apache2 |
|||
---- |
|||
|
|||
==== INSTALLING NEW PACKAGES |
|||
|
|||
If you are find the name of the package you want to install, you can install it by running this command: |
|||
|
|||
[source,bash] |
|||
---- |
|||
apt install apache2 vlc |
|||
---- |
|||
|
|||
|
|||
==== REMOVING INSTALLED PACKAGES |
|||
|
|||
To uninstall a package from your system, you can use the following command: |
|||
|
|||
[source,bash] |
|||
---- |
|||
apt remove vlc |
|||
---- |
|||
|
|||
NOTE: This command removes the package but keeps the configuration files. So in case you reinstall the same package, your configuration remains the same. If you want to remove both the package and its associated configuration files, you can run this command: |
|||
|
|||
[source,bash] |
|||
---- |
|||
apt purge vlc |
|||
---- |
|||
|
|||
==== clean up any unused libraries and packages |
|||
|
|||
|
|||
|
|||
[source,bash] |
|||
---- |
|||
apt autoremove |
|||
---- |
|||
|
|||
This command automatically removes any packages that aren’t used or associated with any installed program. It’s a great way to clean up any unused libraries and packages you don’t need. |

== Linux file system layout |
|||
|
|||
.Subdirectories of the root directory |
|||
[options="header,footer"] |
|||
|======================= |
|||
|Directory| Content |
|||
|/bin| Common programs, shared by the system, the system administrator and the users. |
|||
|/boot| The startup files and the kernel, vmlinuz. In some recent distributions also grub data. Grub is the GRand Unified Boot loader and is an attempt to get rid of the many different boot-loaders we know today. |
|||
|/dev| Contains references to all the CPU peripheral hardware, which are represented as files with special properties. |
|||
|/etc| Most important system configuration files are in /etc |
|||
|/home| Home directories of the common users. |
|||
|/lib| Library files, includes files for all kinds of programs needed by the system and the users. |
|||
|/mnt| Standard mount point for external file systems, e.g. a CD-ROM or a digital camera. |
|||
|/opt| Typically contains extra and third party software. |
|||
|/proc| A virtual file system containing information about system resources. |
|||
|/root| The administrative user's home directory. Mind the difference between /, the root directory and /root, the home directory of the root user. |
|||
|/sbin| Programs for use by the system and the system administrator. |
|||
|/tmp| Temporary space for use by the system, cleaned upon reboot, so don't use this for saving any work! |
|||
|/usr| Programs, libraries, documentation etc. for all user-related programs. |
|||
|/var| Storage for all variable files and temporary files created by users, such as log files, the mail queue, the print spooler area, space for temporary storage of files downloaded from the Internet, or to keep an image of a CD before burning it. |
|||
|======================= |
|||
|
|||
== Find and grep |
|||
|
|||
=== find |
|||
|
|||
The find tool, known from UNIX, is very powerful. This command not only allows you to search file names, it can also accept file size, date of last change and other file properties as criteria for a search. |
|||
|
|||
The most common use is for finding file names: |
|||
|
|||
NOTE: find <path> -name <searchstring> |
|||
|
|||
This can be interpreted as "Look in all files and subdirectories contained in a given path, and print the names of the files containing the search string in their name" **(not in their content).** |
|||
|
|||
[source,bash] |
|||
---- |
|||
find /etc -name "*.conf" |
|||
---- |
|||
|
|||
|
|||
=== grep |
|||
|
|||
grep is used for filtering input lines and returning certain patterns to the output. |
|||
|
|||
NOTE: grep "string" path/to/file |
|||
|
|||
[source,bash] |
|||
---- |
|||
grep "root" /etc/passwd |
|||
---- |
|||
|
|||
|
|||
=== find and grep command together |
|||
|
|||
find /etc -name "*.conf" -exec grep -Hns "conf" {} \; |
|||
|
|||
|
|||
.Explanation |
|||
[source,bash] |
|||
---- |
|||
-H, --with-filename |
|||
Print the filename for each match |
|||
-n, --line-number |
|||
Prefix each line of output with the 1-based line number within its input file |
|||
-s, --no-messages |
|||
Suppress error messages about nonexistent or unreadable files. |
|||
---- |
|||
|
|||
|
|||
NOTE: This can be interpreted as + |
|||
- "Look for *.conf files and subdirectories contained in /etc, and **if true** exec **grep -Hns conf** in the given file" |
|||
|
|||
|
|||
TIP: Very powerful in bash scripts |
|||
create a file test.sh |
|||
.bash script |
|||
[source,bash] |
|||
---- |
|||
#!/bin/bash |
|||
STRING=$(find /etc -name "*.conf" -exec grep -Hns "conf" {} \;) |
|||
echo $STRING |
|||
---- |
|||
exec it |
|||
.bash script |
|||
[source,bash] |
|||
---- |
|||
chmod 700 test.sh |
|||

.procfs |
|||
**** |
|||
The proc filesystem (*procfs*) is a special filesystem in Unix-like operating systems that presents information about processes and other system information in a hierarchical file-like structure, |
|||
*providing* a more convenient and *standardized method for dynamically accessing process* data held in the kernel than traditional tracing methods or direct access to kernel memory. |
|||
|
|||
Typically |
|||
|
|||
- it is mapped to a mount point named /proc at boot time. |
|||
|
|||
- The proc file system acts as an interface to internal data structures in the kernel. |
|||
|
|||
- It can be used to obtain information about the system and to change certain kernel parameters at runtime (sysctl). |
|||
|
|||
**** |
|||
|
|||
|
|||
== The /proc Filesystem |
|||
|
|||
NOTE: The proc filesystem provides a method of communication between *kernel space* and *user space*. For example, the GNU version of the process reporting utility *ps* uses the proc file system to obtain its data, without using any specialized system calls. |
|||
|
|||
|
|||
The directory /proc contains (among other things) one subdirectory for each process running on the system, which is named after the process ID (PID). |
|||
|
|||
The link ‘self’ points to the process reading the file system. Each process subdirectory has the entries listed in: ls /proc/<pid> |

|||
| /proc/fb | – Framebuffer devices. |
|||
| /proc/filesystems | – Current filesystems supported by the kernel. |
|||
| /proc/interrupts, /proc/iomem, /proc/ioports and the directory /proc/irq | - giving some self-explanatory details about the devices (physical or logical) using the various system resources |
|||
| /proc/iomem | – Current system memory map for devices. |

|||
| /proc/loadavg | – System load average. |
|||
| /proc/locks | – Files currently locked by kernel. |
|||
| /proc/meminfo | – Info about system memory (see above example). |
|||
| /proc/misc | – Miscellaneous drivers registered for miscellaneous major device. |
