How to get source code of package using the apt-get/apt command
The procedure to download source code is as follows for Ubuntu Linux.
Please note that apt-get does support third-party closed-source applications. You can only download the source code of open-source software.
Step 1 – Enable source code repo
Sources are normally not installed. Hence, you can only install them if you know the package name and when you enable them. Therefore, edit the /etc/apt/sources.list file, run: $ sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list Make sure the deb-src type references an Ubuntu distribution’s source code as follows: # Sources specification for the Ubuntu 20.04 LTS distro # deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal main restricted universe multiverse deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal-updates main restricted universe multiverse deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal-security main restricted universe multiverse Where,
deb-src : Indicate that you need source code for .DEB files.
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu : URL to fetch index and .deb files source code.
focal : Ubuntu Linux 20.04 LTS code name
main restricted universe multiverse : State component name for repo such as main, restricted, universe, and multiverse
Step 2 – Update index
Run the following command to resynchronize the package index files from their sources as defined by the deb-src keyword in /etc/apt/sources.list for Ubuntu Linux $ sudo apt-get update # OR # $ sudo apt update
Step 3 – Download Ubuntu package’s source code
Let us download source code for bash shell, run: $ sudo apt-get source $ sudo apt-get source bash
You may see the following error if you forgot to set up deb-src as explained in step # 1:
E: You must put some ‘source’ URIs in your sources.list
Let us run the ls command to see source code: $ ls -l
By default, the source code is extracted into bash-5.0 directory: $ cd bash-5.0 $ ls The upstream bash source tarball with .tar.xz ending is stored in bash_5.0.orig.tar.xz file. A description file with .dsc ending contains the name of the package, both, in its filename as well as content (after the Source: keyword). A tarball, with any changes made to upstream source, plus all the files created for the Debian package stored in bash_5.0-6ubuntu1.1.debian.tar.xz file. If the —download-only option passed to the apt-get command, then the source package will not be unpacked: $ sudo apt-get —download-only source source bash When downloaded, we can extract the source files for bash as follows: $ dpkg-source -x /path/to/pkg.dsc $ dpkg-source -x bash_5.0-6ubuntu1.1.dsc It is also possible to build packages: $ sudo apt-get —build source $ sudo apt-get —build source bash Another option is to make changes in debian/rules files $ vi bash-5.0/debian/rules Next we can build out custom bash package as follows: $ export EDITOR=vim $ dch -n Make sure we satisfy the build dependencies for a source package and to avoid errors install those libs and tools: $ sudo apt-get -y build-dep bash Finally, build a Debian package: $ debuild Verify new packages: $ cd .. $ ls *.deb Install them: $ sudo dpkg -i bash_*.deb

How to download Debian package’s source code
The procedure is the same as Ubuntu distro but URL syntax changes as follows: $ sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list Edit/update as follows: # source repo for Debian 10 buster # deb-src deb http://deb.debian.org/debian buster main Save and close the file in vim, and then run the following command: $ sudo apt-get update Let us download source code for the Apache web server: $ apt-get source apache2
Conclusion
We explained how to enable Ubuntu/Debian source repo and download source code for the package by name. The apt-get source command is useful when you want to study packaging or a specific Debian package. Also useful to know which compile-time options enabled for a particular package. And finally, we can rebuild packages to add or remove components. See Debian guide wiki page for more information and read the following man pages by typing the man command: $ man apt $ man apt-get $ man 5 sources.list $ man debuild $ man dch

Ubuntu Documentation
Introduction
Note: The Main page is available in multiple languages.
Installing software in Ubuntu is easy, and this guide will show you how to do it.
By default, many useful programs are already installed when you put Ubuntu onto your computer. However, you may need a particular piece of software that serves a purpose not served by the default applications. You might just want to try an alternative program to one which is already installed. In other words, you need new software.
If you’d like to get some background information on what’s happening when you install software (which can sometimes be technical), read Packages and Package Management. If you just want to get started installing new programs, you can skip straight to Installing a Package.
Packages and Package Management
This section covers the basic concepts of packages and package management. You will learn about what a package is, the differences between different types of package and also how package management works on Ubuntu.
What is a package?
Software is a very broad term, and is generally taken to mean a program which you can run on your computer. However, such programs often need other resources to work. When you install software, thousands of files may be required just to let the program start! When you think that they all have to be put in exactly the right location, and some of those files may need to be changed depending on what type of computer you have, it can all get very complicated. Luckily, Ubuntu can look after this complexity.
Ubuntu uses packages to store everything that a particular program needs to run. A ‘package’, then, is essentially a collection of files bundled into a single file, which can be handled much more easily. In addition to the files required for the program to run, there will be special files called installation scripts, which copy the files to where they are needed (amongst other things).
Source or Binary?
Normally, when someone makes a package for a program, they put all of the source code for the program into that package. Source code is written by programmers and is essentially a list of instructions to a computer which humans are able to read and write. Computers can only understand this code if it is interpreted for them into a form that they can use directly. One such way of interpreting source code for a computer is by translating or compiling it into binary, which computers can understand.
So why don’t the people who make the package (called packagers) just convert it into binary from the start? Well, different computers use different types of binary, so if you make a binary package for one type (like an Intel PC), it won’t work on another (like a PowerPC).
Source packages are simply packages which just include source code, and can generally be used on any type of machine if the code is compiled in the right way. (For information on how to compile and install source packages, see CompilingEasyHowTo). Binary packages are ones which have been made specifically for one type of computer, or architecture. Ubuntu supports the x86 (i386 or i686), AMD64 and PPC architectures. The correct binary packages will be used automatically, so you don’t have to worry about picking the right ones. To find out which one you are using, open Applications → Accessories → Terminal, type uname -m then hit the enter key.
Package Dependencies
Programs often use some of the same files as each other. Rather than putting these files into each package, a separate package can be installed to provide them for all of the programs that need them. So, to install a program which needs one of these files, the package containing those files must also be installed. When a package depends on another in this way, it is known as a package dependency. By specifying dependencies, packages can be made smaller and simpler, and duplicates of files and programs are mostly removed.
When you install a program, its dependencies must be installed at the same time. Usually, most of the required dependencies will already be installed, but a few extras may be needed, too. So, when you install a package, don’t be surprised if several other packages are installed too — these are just dependencies which are needed for your chosen package to function properly.
An example of dependencies
Package Managers
A package manager is an application which handles the downloading and installation of packages. Ubuntu includes a few package managers by default, and which one you use depends on how advanced the package management tasks are that you want to achieve. Most people will only need to use the most basic package manager, the Add/Remove tool, which is very easy to use.
Software Channels/Repositories
Where can you get packages from?
Ubuntu stores all of its packages in locations called software channels or repositories. A software channel is simply a location which holds packages of similar types, which can be downloaded and installed using a package manager. A package manager will store an index of all of the packages available from a software channel. Sometimes it will ‘re-build’ this index to make sure that it is up to date and knows which packages have been upgraded or added into the channel since it last checked.
There are four Ubuntu software channels for each architecture — Main, Restricted, Universe and Multiverse. Each has a different purpose. By default, only packages from Main and Restricted can be installed. If you would like to install packages from Universe or Multiverse, see the Repositories page for instructions on how to do this.
In addition to the official Ubuntu repositories, it is possible to use third party repositories. Be careful, though — some are not compatible with Ubuntu and using them may cause programs to stop working or may even cause serious damage to your installation. The page http://www.ubuntulinux.nl/source-o-matic (page removed — why) can help you to find extra repositories, and the Repositories page gives instructions on how to enable them.
Installing a Package
This section explains how to install packages using the various tools available in Ubuntu,Xubuntu,Edubuntu and Kubuntu.
Via your web browser
In the Ubuntu Documentation, you will sometimes find sentences like for example:
» To install this software in Ubuntu, install the following package: supertux. «
Click on the name of the package («supertux» in the example):
if the apturl protocol is enabled on your computer, you will be proposed to install the package called «supertux».
if not, please follow instructions of the AptURL page to enable apturl protocol on your computer.
Via a basic graphical method
Note that some packages can’t be installed via this method, in this case please use another method.
for Ubuntu: «Sofware Centre «
In recent versions of Ubuntu, the «Add/Remove» option in the Applications menu has been replaced by the Ubuntu Software Center.
for Kubuntu : «Add/Remove Programs»
Kubuntu’s new and easy method of installing packages is to use the ‘Add/Remove Programs’ tool. Click K-Menu → Add/Remove Programs to start it.
Add/Remove Programs is a simple graphical way of installing and removing applications in Kubuntu. To launch Add/Remove Programs, choose K Menu → Add/Remove Programs from the desktop menu system.
To install new applications select the category on the left, then check the box of the application you want to install. When finished click Apply, then your chosen programs will be downloaded and installed automatically, as well as installing any additional applications that are required. The default selection is restricted to KDE suite, but GNOME applications can be installed simply by selecting from dropdown menu at the top. Alternatively, if you know the name of the program you want, use the Search tool at the top.
Software from additional repositories may be installed by enabling the Show: Unsupported and Show: proprietary software checkboxes if they are enabled in your repository list. For more information, see the Repositories page.
Once this has finished, click Close.Your new programs are installed, ready to use!
Via an advanced graphical method
for Ubuntu/Xubuntu/Edubuntu : Synaptic
The Synaptic Package Manager offers a more advanced way of installing packages. If you have problems finding a suitable package with the Add/Remove tool, try using the search in Synaptic. This searches all of the packages in the available repositories, even the ones which don’t contain programs.
For details on using Synaptic, see SynapticHowto.
Via a Text Based Methods
Text based methods can be used across Ubuntu, Kubuntu and Xubuntu, but require familiarity with the terminal. When helping users to install packages, you should consider using an AptURL instead of apt-get or aptitude.
Aptitude — the text-based method
Aptitude is a text-based package manager, which must be run from a Terminal. Read the AptitudeSurvivalGuide for more information on how to use Aptitude.
apt-get — the technical method
The apt-get program is a command-line package manager, which should be used if the Add/Remove tool and Synaptic ever run into problems. It provides an advanced interface to APT, the underlying package management system which Ubuntu uses, but is reasonably easy to operate. Power users may find that apt-get is quicker to use and more powerful than the graphical options above.
For details on how to use apt-get, read AptGet/Howto.
Installing downloaded packages
You may wish to install a package you have downloaded from a website, rather than from a software repository. These packages are called .deb files. Because they may have been created for a different Linux distribution, you might find that there’s dependency issues with Ubuntu, meaning that they may be uninstallable.
To find a package which you have previously downloaded using Synaptic, aptitude or apt-get, look in /var/cache/apt/archives
Using GDebi to install packages
GDebi is a simple tool to install .deb files. It has a graphical user interface but can also be used in your terminal. It lets you install local deb packages resolving and installing its dependencies.. It automatically checks packages for their dependencies and will try to download them from the Ubuntu software repositories if possible. You may first need to install GDebi — simply install the gdebi package using one of the package managers listed above, or open a Terminal and type sudo apt-get install gdebi.
Once you have installed GDebi, use the File Browser to find the package you wish to install. Package files will look similar to this:
Double-click the package to open it with GDebi. If all dependencies have been met for the selected package, simply click the ‘Install package’ button to install it. GDebi will warn you if there are unmet dependencies, which means that there’s dependencies that aren’t resolved in the repositories that you’re using.
Using dpkg to install packages
dpkg is a command-line tool used to install packages. To install a package with dpkg, open a Terminal and type the following:
Note: replace directory with the directory in which the package is stored and package_name with the filename of the package.
It is recommended that you read the dpkg manual page before using dpkg, as improper use may break the package management database. To view the manual page for dpkg, open a Terminal and type man dpkg.
Getting a list of recently installed packages
You can use the dpkg logs to discover recently installed packages; this is handy if you want to roll back some recent installations to a previous system state.
More detailed information on this can be found here.
Automatic updates: Update Manager
Ubuntu will automatically notify you when security updates and software upgrades are available. The Ubuntu Update Manager is a simple and easy to use application that helps users to keep their system software updated. Simply click the update icon (which will appear in the notification area), type in your super-user/administrator password and follow the instructions on-screen to download and install the updates.
Keeping up to date is important, as security fixes which protect your computer from harm are delivered in this way.
Installing packages without an Internet connection
Sometimes, an internet connection is unavailable to install programs.
It is possible to install programs without CDs or DVDs onto offline computers, using a simple USB key for example to transfer only the packages you need.
There are several methods to do this:
Use Keryx
Keryx is a portable, cross-platform package manager for APT-based (Ubuntu, Debian) systems. It provides a graphical interface for gathering updates, packages, and dependencies for offline computers. Keryx is free and open source. You can get Keryx here: https://launchpad.net/keryx
Use the Synaptic package download script
Short instructions:
Launch Synaptic on the offline computer
Mark the packages you wish to install
Select File->Generate package download script
Save the script to your USB key
Take the USB key to an online Linux computer and run the script there from the USB key. It will download only the packages required by the offline computer to the USB key.
Insert the USB key into the offline computer
Launch Synaptic and click on File->Add downloaded packages
Select the directory on your USB key containing the downloaded *.deb files and press Open. The packages will be installed.
Note: If you don’t have access to a PC with GNU/Linux or emulating/virtualizing GNU/Linux (Cygwin, VMware, VirtualBox, Qemu, etc), just open the script with a text editor and enter all the URLs you see in your browser to download the corresponding packages.
If you have all the necessary libraries and/or dependencies, the simplest way is of course to just download the .deb package you need, just as you would with a Windows installer, and double-click the package to install it with GDebi.
Use Offline apt-get update
If you can’t even select the packages on your offline PC because you can’t add the repository / update the package info, try this: AptGet/Offline/Repository
Basically, it consists in creating your own local repository, except that it won’t contain the packages themselves, only the dependency information.
The problem is that when you generate the package download list using this method, it will try to get the packages from your local repository and obviously fail.
The solution is to post-process the script by replacing the URLs with the correct one.
Assuming you created the local repository at «/home/username/repository» and got the different files from «http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/», this can easily be done with the following command:
or directly without creating a second script:
or simply with any text editor featuring search&replace.
Use apt-offline
apt-offline allows you to easily upgrade or install new packages on your offline PC, by using another online PC.

How to download Debian package’s source code
The procedure is the same as Ubuntu distro but URL syntax changes as follows: $ sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list Edit/update as follows: # source repo for Debian 10 buster # deb-src deb http://deb.debian.org/debian buster main Save and close the file in vim, and then run the following command: $ sudo apt-get update Let us download source code for the Apache web server: $ apt-get source apache2
Conclusion
We explained how to enable Ubuntu/Debian source repo and download source code for the package by name. The apt-get source command is useful when you want to study packaging or a specific Debian package. Also useful to know which compile-time options enabled for a particular package. And finally, we can rebuild packages to add or remove components. See Debian guide wiki page for more information and read the following man pages by typing the man command: $ man apt $ man apt-get $ man 5 sources.list $ man debuild $ man dch

Introduction
Note: The Main page is available in multiple languages.
Installing software in Ubuntu is easy, and this guide will show you how to do it.
By default, many useful programs are already installed when you put Ubuntu onto your computer. However, you may need a particular piece of software that serves a purpose not served by the default applications. You might just want to try an alternative program to one which is already installed. In other words, you need new software.
If you’d like to get some background information on what’s happening when you install software (which can sometimes be technical), read Packages and Package Management. If you just want to get started installing new programs, you can skip straight to Installing a Package.
Packages and Package Management
This section covers the basic concepts of packages and package management. You will learn about what a package is, the differences between different types of package and also how package management works on Ubuntu.
What is a package?
Software is a very broad term, and is generally taken to mean a program which you can run on your computer. However, such programs often need other resources to work. When you install software, thousands of files may be required just to let the program start! When you think that they all have to be put in exactly the right location, and some of those files may need to be changed depending on what type of computer you have, it can all get very complicated. Luckily, Ubuntu can look after this complexity.
Ubuntu uses packages to store everything that a particular program needs to run. A ‘package’, then, is essentially a collection of files bundled into a single file, which can be handled much more easily. In addition to the files required for the program to run, there will be special files called installation scripts, which copy the files to where they are needed (amongst other things).
Source or Binary?
Normally, when someone makes a package for a program, they put all of the source code for the program into that package. Source code is written by programmers and is essentially a list of instructions to a computer which humans are able to read and write. Computers can only understand this code if it is interpreted for them into a form that they can use directly. One such way of interpreting source code for a computer is by translating or compiling it into binary, which computers can understand.
So why don’t the people who make the package (called packagers) just convert it into binary from the start? Well, different computers use different types of binary, so if you make a binary package for one type (like an Intel PC), it won’t work on another (like a PowerPC).
Source packages are simply packages which just include source code, and can generally be used on any type of machine if the code is compiled in the right way. (For information on how to compile and install source packages, see CompilingEasyHowTo). Binary packages are ones which have been made specifically for one type of computer, or architecture. Ubuntu supports the x86 (i386 or i686), AMD64 and PPC architectures. The correct binary packages will be used automatically, so you don’t have to worry about picking the right ones. To find out which one you are using, open Applications → Accessories → Terminal, type uname -m then hit the enter key.
Package Dependencies
Programs often use some of the same files as each other. Rather than putting these files into each package, a separate package can be installed to provide them for all of the programs that need them. So, to install a program which needs one of these files, the package containing those files must also be installed. When a package depends on another in this way, it is known as a package dependency. By specifying dependencies, packages can be made smaller and simpler, and duplicates of files and programs are mostly removed.
When you install a program, its dependencies must be installed at the same time. Usually, most of the required dependencies will already be installed, but a few extras may be needed, too. So, when you install a package, don’t be surprised if several other packages are installed too — these are just dependencies which are needed for your chosen package to function properly.
An example of dependencies
Package Managers
A package manager is an application which handles the downloading and installation of packages. Ubuntu includes a few package managers by default, and which one you use depends on how advanced the package management tasks are that you want to achieve. Most people will only need to use the most basic package manager, the Add/Remove tool, which is very easy to use.
Software Channels/Repositories
Where can you get packages from?
Ubuntu stores all of its packages in locations called software channels or repositories. A software channel is simply a location which holds packages of similar types, which can be downloaded and installed using a package manager. A package manager will store an index of all of the packages available from a software channel. Sometimes it will ‘re-build’ this index to make sure that it is up to date and knows which packages have been upgraded or added into the channel since it last checked.
There are four Ubuntu software channels for each architecture — Main, Restricted, Universe and Multiverse. Each has a different purpose. By default, only packages from Main and Restricted can be installed. If you would like to install packages from Universe or Multiverse, see the Repositories page for instructions on how to do this.
In addition to the official Ubuntu repositories, it is possible to use third party repositories. Be careful, though — some are not compatible with Ubuntu and using them may cause programs to stop working or may even cause serious damage to your installation. The page http://www.ubuntulinux.nl/source-o-matic (page removed — why) can help you to find extra repositories, and the Repositories page gives instructions on how to enable them.
Installing a Package
This section explains how to install packages using the various tools available in Ubuntu,Xubuntu,Edubuntu and Kubuntu.
Via your web browser
In the Ubuntu Documentation, you will sometimes find sentences like for example:
» To install this software in Ubuntu, install the following package: supertux. «
Click on the name of the package («supertux» in the example):
if the apturl protocol is enabled on your computer, you will be proposed to install the package called «supertux».
if not, please follow instructions of the AptURL page to enable apturl protocol on your computer.
Via a basic graphical method
Note that some packages can’t be installed via this method, in this case please use another method.
for Ubuntu: «Sofware Centre «
In recent versions of Ubuntu, the «Add/Remove» option in the Applications menu has been replaced by the Ubuntu Software Center.
for Kubuntu : «Add/Remove Programs»
Kubuntu’s new and easy method of installing packages is to use the ‘Add/Remove Programs’ tool. Click K-Menu → Add/Remove Programs to start it.
Add/Remove Programs is a simple graphical way of installing and removing applications in Kubuntu. To launch Add/Remove Programs, choose K Menu → Add/Remove Programs from the desktop menu system.
To install new applications select the category on the left, then check the box of the application you want to install. When finished click Apply, then your chosen programs will be downloaded and installed automatically, as well as installing any additional applications that are required. The default selection is restricted to KDE suite, but GNOME applications can be installed simply by selecting from dropdown menu at the top. Alternatively, if you know the name of the program you want, use the Search tool at the top.
Software from additional repositories may be installed by enabling the Show: Unsupported and Show: proprietary software checkboxes if they are enabled in your repository list. For more information, see the Repositories page.
Once this has finished, click Close.Your new programs are installed, ready to use!
Via an advanced graphical method
for Ubuntu/Xubuntu/Edubuntu : Synaptic
The Synaptic Package Manager offers a more advanced way of installing packages. If you have problems finding a suitable package with the Add/Remove tool, try using the search in Synaptic. This searches all of the packages in the available repositories, even the ones which don’t contain programs.
For details on using Synaptic, see SynapticHowto.
Via a Text Based Methods
Text based methods can be used across Ubuntu, Kubuntu and Xubuntu, but require familiarity with the terminal. When helping users to install packages, you should consider using an AptURL instead of apt-get or aptitude.
Aptitude — the text-based method
Aptitude is a text-based package manager, which must be run from a Terminal. Read the AptitudeSurvivalGuide for more information on how to use Aptitude.
apt-get — the technical method
The apt-get program is a command-line package manager, which should be used if the Add/Remove tool and Synaptic ever run into problems. It provides an advanced interface to APT, the underlying package management system which Ubuntu uses, but is reasonably easy to operate. Power users may find that apt-get is quicker to use and more powerful than the graphical options above.
For details on how to use apt-get, read AptGet/Howto.
Installing downloaded packages
You may wish to install a package you have downloaded from a website, rather than from a software repository. These packages are called .deb files. Because they may have been created for a different Linux distribution, you might find that there’s dependency issues with Ubuntu, meaning that they may be uninstallable.
To find a package which you have previously downloaded using Synaptic, aptitude or apt-get, look in /var/cache/apt/archives
Using GDebi to install packages
GDebi is a simple tool to install .deb files. It has a graphical user interface but can also be used in your terminal. It lets you install local deb packages resolving and installing its dependencies.. It automatically checks packages for their dependencies and will try to download them from the Ubuntu software repositories if possible. You may first need to install GDebi — simply install the gdebi package using one of the package managers listed above, or open a Terminal and type sudo apt-get install gdebi.
Once you have installed GDebi, use the File Browser to find the package you wish to install. Package files will look similar to this:
Double-click the package to open it with GDebi. If all dependencies have been met for the selected package, simply click the ‘Install package’ button to install it. GDebi will warn you if there are unmet dependencies, which means that there’s dependencies that aren’t resolved in the repositories that you’re using.
Using dpkg to install packages
dpkg is a command-line tool used to install packages. To install a package with dpkg, open a Terminal and type the following:
Note: replace directory with the directory in which the package is stored and package_name with the filename of the package.
It is recommended that you read the dpkg manual page before using dpkg, as improper use may break the package management database. To view the manual page for dpkg, open a Terminal and type man dpkg.
Getting a list of recently installed packages
You can use the dpkg logs to discover recently installed packages; this is handy if you want to roll back some recent installations to a previous system state.
More detailed information on this can be found here.
Automatic updates: Update Manager
Ubuntu will automatically notify you when security updates and software upgrades are available. The Ubuntu Update Manager is a simple and easy to use application that helps users to keep their system software updated. Simply click the update icon (which will appear in the notification area), type in your super-user/administrator password and follow the instructions on-screen to download and install the updates.
Keeping up to date is important, as security fixes which protect your computer from harm are delivered in this way.
Installing packages without an Internet connection
Sometimes, an internet connection is unavailable to install programs.
It is possible to install programs without CDs or DVDs onto offline computers, using a simple USB key for example to transfer only the packages you need.
There are several methods to do this:
Use Keryx
Keryx is a portable, cross-platform package manager for APT-based (Ubuntu, Debian) systems. It provides a graphical interface for gathering updates, packages, and dependencies for offline computers. Keryx is free and open source. You can get Keryx here: https://launchpad.net/keryx
Use the Synaptic package download script
Short instructions:
Launch Synaptic on the offline computer
Mark the packages you wish to install
Select File->Generate package download script
Save the script to your USB key
Take the USB key to an online Linux computer and run the script there from the USB key. It will download only the packages required by the offline computer to the USB key.
Insert the USB key into the offline computer
Launch Synaptic and click on File->Add downloaded packages
Select the directory on your USB key containing the downloaded *.deb files and press Open. The packages will be installed.
Note: If you don’t have access to a PC with GNU/Linux or emulating/virtualizing GNU/Linux (Cygwin, VMware, VirtualBox, Qemu, etc), just open the script with a text editor and enter all the URLs you see in your browser to download the corresponding packages.
If you have all the necessary libraries and/or dependencies, the simplest way is of course to just download the .deb package you need, just as you would with a Windows installer, and double-click the package to install it with GDebi.
Use Offline apt-get update
If you can’t even select the packages on your offline PC because you can’t add the repository / update the package info, try this: AptGet/Offline/Repository
Basically, it consists in creating your own local repository, except that it won’t contain the packages themselves, only the dependency information.
The problem is that when you generate the package download list using this method, it will try to get the packages from your local repository and obviously fail.
The solution is to post-process the script by replacing the URLs with the correct one.
Assuming you created the local repository at «/home/username/repository» and got the different files from «http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/», this can easily be done with the following command:
or directly without creating a second script:
or simply with any text editor featuring search&replace.
Use apt-offline
apt-offline allows you to easily upgrade or install new packages on your offline PC, by using another online PC.
