Adding new software

Virage GNU/Linux uses the Devuan official repository to mantain the integrity and stability of the system.

New repos, compatible with Devuan (you need to be sure) can be added to:

/etc/apt/sources.list

However, we don’t recommend doing so.

Virage GNU/Linux has the main, contrib and non-free repositories available by default, so you can install a large amount of software, specially compiled for Devuan and derivates.

Please, don’t use any Debian, Ubuntu or Mint repository. This can break your system.

To install software from repos:

sudo apt install <package name>

To search for a package:

sudo apt search <name>

To remove a package:

sudo apt remove <package name>

Autoremove unnecesary dependencies:

sudo apt autoremove 

Clean the cache of APT system:

sudo apt clean
