Example: su - then enter the password of the user root If installing for example firefox, first read the repository: apt update then install the package apt install firefox-esr ----- Hint: If you want a graphical method and you have no X and Wndow-Manager running (like KDE, Gnome, XFCE whatever), I suggest using aptitude. You have to install aptitude first: apt install aptitude Then you can start the gui with the command "aptitude" as root. Hint 2: aptitude is controlled by keypresses without any enter-key. For example, when started aptitude, just press the "u" key and it reads the update, "U" (Shift + u) marks all newer packages automatically to be updated, then press "g" and you will shwo, what it will do. Press "g" again, and it will do the update. Please note: If you want to upgrade the whole sytem, then using apt or apt-get will be the better choice! But aptitude is very well for installing single packages or weekly upgrades, where not much packages will be renewed. If you are not much experienced, and you have a window-manager running like KDE, Gnome, XFCE, LXDE or another one, then look at synaptic. Synaptic is a graphical tool for installing packages, it is a GUI for apt. Synaptic MUST run as root. Hope this helps. By the way: I believe, you are not very experienced in English language, so I suggest to suscribe in the fine German forum, which is debian-user-ger...@lists.debioan.org.
