Synopsis

aptitude [options] [packages]

aptitude is a package manager for the command line that manipulates Debian (.deb) packages. Some older Debian package managers, including Advanced Packaging Tool (the apt-get command suite) and dpkg, are also in wide use today. (In our table of commands, we’ll use dpkg to work with local files, since aptitude does not do this.) You’ll also encounter graphical package managers like synaptic and Ubuntu’s update-manager.
