wajig packages into one tool many commands useful for managing a Debian system. Instead of having to remember whether to use dpkg or apt-get or apt-cache, etc, wajig does the selection of the appropriate tool for you. wajig is a user command but will use sudo to run commands requiring super user permissions. I find it is very convenient, but perhaps, if you are new to things, it would be better to start with apt-get and friends to get an understanding how they work.
