How do I download more software packages to Raspberry Pi?

dharr19 over 13 years ago

Hi,

I have installed the debian6-19-04-2012.img to my SD card. Once I get everything up and running, how do I download more software packages?

Cheers

David,

I haven't used the debian yet, but have you tried using apt-get yet? I'm pretty sure it still uses apt-get, so as root run apt-get install [package you want installed], first you might want to run apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade

Hope that helps.
