I recently switched to Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 64-bit and I installed many essential softwares the terminal by using this command:



sudo apt-get install <package_name>



Is there any difference in installing softwares through terminal or via software center (i.e. does the actual working of installation varies)?

There are some differences:




  • Using a GUI interface, installation error messages are hidden and they just give you a general message that it didn't work, but when you install something from terminal using apt-get, you will see all the messages that are generated; this information can be used to fix the errors.


  • apt-get will inform you by other associated packages that are recommended along with your package.


  • apt-get inform you by any packages that were installed previously and that are probably not needed any more.
