I use a lot of different package managers to install various pieces of software on my PC: apt, apt-get, pip, snap, basically whatever the online documentation recommends. How do I tell which package manager I used to install a specific program? I'd like to update it using the same method.

You could try the following to give you clues on which package manager was used:


snap list


pip list


apt list --installed


In the case of apt or apt-get, the list may be very long, so you could use grep to filter the results. eg. apt list --installed | grep firefox
