I'm tired of seeing our experienced users use apt-get, and noobs will also learn from them and that's not good.
Use aptitude!!!

7.13 How do I install a source package?
Debian source packages can't actually be "installed", they are just unpacked in whatever directory you want to build the binary packages they produce.
Source packages are distributed on most of the same mirrors where you can obtain the binary packages. If you set up your APT's sources.list(5) to include the appropriate "deb-src" lines, you'll be able to easily download any source packages by running
apt-get source foo
To help you in actually building the source package, Debian source package provide the so-called build-dependencies mechanism. This means that the source package maintainer keeps a list of other packages that are required to build their package. To see how this is useful, run
apt-get build-dep foo
before building the source.
7.14 How do I build binary packages from a source package?
The preferred way to do this is by using various wrapper tools. We'll show how it's done using the devscripts tools. Install this package if you haven't done so already.
Now, first get the source package:
apt-get source foo
and change to the source tree:
cd foo-*
Then install needed build-dependencies (if any):
sudo apt-get build-dep foo
8.1.2 APT
APT is the Advanced Package Tool and provides the apt-get program. apt-get provides a simple way to retrieve and install packages from multiple sources using the command line. Unlike dpkg, apt-get does not understand .deb files, it works with the packages proper name and can only install .deb archives from a source specified in /etc/apt/sources.list. apt-get will call dpkg directly after downloading the .deb archives[5] from the configured sources.
Some common ways to use apt-get are: *
To update the list of package known by your system, you can run:
apt-get update
(you should execute this regularly to update your package lists)
*
To upgrade all the packages on your system (without installing extra packages or removing packages), run:
apt-get upgrade
*
To install the foo package and all its dependencies, run:
apt-get install foo
*
To remove the foo package from your system, run:
apt-get remove foo
*
To remove the foo package and its configuration files from your system, run:
apt-get --purge remove foo
*
To upgrade all the packages on your system, and, if needed for a package upgrade, installing extra packages or removing packages, run:
apt-get dist-upgrade
(The command upgrade keeps a package at its installed obsolete version if upgrading would need an extra package to be installed, for a new dependency to be satisfied. The dist-upgrade command is less conservative.)
Note that you must be logged in as root to perform any commands that modify the system packages.
Note that apt-get now installs recommended packages as default and is the preferred program for package management from console to perform system installation and major system upgrades for its robustness.
The apt tool suite also includes the apt-cache tool to query the package lists. You can use it to find packages providing specific functionality through simple text or regular expression queries and through queries of dependencies in the package management system. Some common ways to use apt-cache are:
To find packages whose description contain word:
apt-cache search word *
To print the detailed information of a package:
apt-cache show package *
To print the packages a given package depends on:
apt-cache depends package *
To print detailed information of the versions available for a package and the packages that reverse-depends on it:
apt-cache showpkg package
For more information, install the apt package and read apt-get(8), sources.list(5) and install the apt-doc package and read /usr/share/doc/apt-doc/guide.html/index.html.
