    How to search software package on Ubuntu


    You can install software package on ubuntu using 'apt-get install' command, and you can uninstall software using 'apt-get remove' command, but what about searching the software package itself?

    Unlike 'apt-get install' or 'apt-get remove', the 'apt-cache search' can be run without sudo, you just need to run 'apt-cache search' followed by the name of software package that you are looking.
    apt-cache search [package-name]
