Once the process is complete:

A first command we can execute is:

sudo apt-get install

The word sudo before the command means that we execute it with Administrator rights. The apt-get install example command upgrades software packages.

We can copy and paste it into the Ubuntu window. When we press Enter, it asks us to enter the password we gave for our account

Note: Proxy Setup

In my case, I use a proxy to access the internet. After installation, I had to configure my system to "see" the network through the proxy.

The command we use in this case is:

sudo nano apt.conf

With this option we open the apt.conf file for editing.

Add the following line

Acquire::http::proxy "http: // username:[email protected]: port ";

Where

username: password the username and password we use to log in (skip it if it does not exist)

proxyaddress is the full address of the proxy

port the door number

Press Ctrl + O to save and Ctrl + X to exit.
