Difference between apt and apt-get
Hi, I want to know what is the basic difference between *apt*, as in /apt update/ and *apt-get*, as in /apt-get update/. Thanks, Muntasim-Ul-Haque

Thanks, Muntasim-Ul-Haque From the man pages:- APT is a *management system* for software packages. For normal day to day package management there are several frontends available, such as aptitude(8) for the command line or synaptic(8) for the X Window System. Some options are only implemented in apt-get(8) though. apt-get is the *command-line tool* for handling packages, and may be considered the user's back-end to other tools using the APT library.
