I am absolutely new to Ubuntu. I just migrated to Ubuntu 13.10 from Windows.
While using Windows, it is a common practice to download a software, save the downloaded files in a different partition and then use the executable .exe installer to install the software in the computer.
I have been installing apps in Ubuntu using
sudo apt-get install <package-name>
In this process I am unable to store a copy of the software before installing. Is there a process for doing that? Ubuntu doesn't even ask me for the path where to download the software to. Neither am I asked for a path where the OS wants to install the software.
I am unable to understand the process that is going on.
