Sometimes only words will do. Graphical user interfaces (GUIs) were a great advance, creating an easy route into computers for non-technical users. But for complex tasks, GUIs can block off choices and require a circuitous route even for simple tasks.
Enter the command line: the blinking cursor many thought had faded away in the 1990s. For getting instructions from user to computer — in a clear, quick, and unambiguous form — nothing beats the command line. It never disappeared on UNIX and Linux systems, and thanks to Raspberry Pi OS, a new generation is discovering how it simplifies complex tasks and lets you carry out simple ones instantly.
We look at the efficient system for installing and updating software in Debian systems. Installing software should be easy, but behind every piece of software is an evolving set of dependencies that also need installing and updating. Keeping software separate from its dependencies reduces unnecessary bloat and duplication, but adds the potential for bugs, missing files, and even totally unresolvable clashes.
Fortunately, Debian GNU/Linux cracked the problem back in the 1990s with the Debian Package Management system and the Advanced Package Tool (APT) — and Debian-based systems, like Ubuntu and Raspberry Pi OS, inherit all of the benefits. Here we’ll show you the basics you need to know to install new software and keep your system up to date from the command line, and then look at the not entirely unrelated field of file ownership and permissions.
Build essential skills, including:
Read and write text files Find and install software Manage removable storage Use Secure Shell (SSH) for remote access Write disk images to SD cards Browse the web from the command line
If you're not comfortable when faced with the $ prompt, don't panic! In this fully updated book, we'll quickly make you feel at home and get you familiar with the terminal on Raspberry Pi (or any Mac and Linux computer). Updated for the latest Raspberry Pi software, this book has everything you need to get started.
