Adept is Kubuntu's default package manager. It allows you to install, upgrade, and remove packages with a pretty GUI.
How to Start Adept
You can start Adept two ways:
1. Pressing Alt and F2 at the same time, and typing adept manager, then pressing your Enter key
2. By clicking the K Menu, Clicking on Applications, going to the System menu item, and then selecting Package Manager
Enter your normal user password, and click OK. You'll then be greeted with the Adept Main Screen
How to add or remove a repository with Adept
See this help page for how to add and remove repositories
Adding or removing programs
It's usually good practice to start out by fetching updates.. To do this, click the Sources button, and then select fetch current package lists
To install programs, simply search for what you're looking for by typing a phrase in the Search box at the top.. Once you locate the program on the list that will appear on the right, simply click on the item's name in the list, and check the Install this Package box (Shown in the example). If you later change your mind, you may de-select by un-checking the box.
After you're done selecting and de-selecting any programs you want, click the Changes button, and then Apply Changes to apply and install or remove your programs.
