Use Synaptic Package Manager or apt-get/aptitude/apt. If you have to ask easy website to install software, you shouldn't be using any software not provided in official Debian repositories, you'll break your system.

Synaptic should be installed in Debian by default (I reckon). If not, you can install it from commandline by running following command as root:

Code: Select all

apt-get install synaptic

Kind of worrying that you have to ask this on the forums. I would get away from this idea of using 'sites' to install Debian software. Think in terms of repositories.

At the risk of sounding a little austere, you are asking a very, very basic question with regard to Debian operation [and Linux for that matter]. I would encourage you to do some reading of the Debian Wiki since you will find a lot of answers there, not only to this question, but others that will arise [MALsPa has already pointed you to it in answer to your question on how to use Synaptic]. Reading and applying what you have learned from the Wiki will enhance both your knowledge and your powers of research, the latter of which will be of particular import when it comes to using Debian. You will then have laid more of a technical foundation for yourself, and will possess further experience to draw from when posting here.

8.1.4 synaptic

synaptic is a graphical package manager. It enables you to install, upgrade and remove software packages in a user friendly way. Along with most of the features offered by aptitude, it also has a feature for editing the list of used repositories, and supports browsing all available documentation related to a package. See the Synaptic Website for more information.
