How to install applications on Ubuntu?

Question

ubuntu

In general, I moved to Ubuntu from Windows, I need two IDEs - Android Studio and IDEA, well, as a person who came from Windows, I went to developer.android.com and wanted to download from there (there is an archive), but then I remembered that the ideology was installation from repositories, so where to get them, how to look for them?

Answer 1

in the terminal

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:paolorotolo/android-studio
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install android-studio

this is for android studio ( here ), and for the idea there
Everything is described and painted everywhere, admit it - you didn’t look :)

Answer 2

In ubuntu/debian, to install applications that are in the standard repositories, use apt-get:
Some software that is not there may be in third-party repositories that you can add yourself (but you need to think carefully before adding; you need to trust the source), run:
To update information about known applications and their versions, then install as above.
There are also applications that are supplied as *.deb packages, that is, the files themselves without a repository. They can be installed via dpkg (from the Debian package):
At the very worst, they offer to download the source archive and build it yourself. Here, one team will not work, since it is often necessary to install development packages, take into account a bunch of dependencies, and so on.
The most convenient option is a repository. Simple, clear, updated centrally.
PhpStorm (from the same family as your applications) generally does not require installation as such. I unpacked it in ~/PhpStorm, then opened it by doing:
Next menu: Tools > Create Desktop Entry...
And in the applications there is a launch shortcut that can be attached to the panel.
When updating, I simply change the contents of ~/PhpStorm
