  Usage: apt-get [options] command
         apt-get [options] install|remove pkg1 [pkg2 ...]
         apt-get [options] source pkg1 [pkg2 ...]

  apt-get is a simple command line interface for downloading and
  installing packages. The most frequently used commands are update
  and install.

  Commands:
     update - Retrieve new lists of packages
     upgrade - Perform an upgrade
     install - Install new packages (pkg is libc6 not libc6.deb)
     remove - Remove packages
     autoremove - Remove automatically all unused packages
     purge - Remove packages and config files
     source - Download source archives
     build-dep - Configure build-dependencies for source packages
     dist-upgrade - Distribution upgrade, see apt-get(8)
     dselect-upgrade - Follow dselect selections
     clean - Erase downloaded archive files
     autoclean - Erase old downloaded archive files
     check - Verify that there are no broken dependencies
     changelog - Download and display the changelog for the given package
     download - Download the binary package into the current directory

  Options:
    -h  This help text.
    -q  Loggable output - no progress indicator
    -qq No output except for errors
    -d  Download only - do NOT install or unpack archives
    -s  No-act. Perform ordering simulation
    -y  Assume Yes to all queries and do not prompt
    -f  Attempt to correct a system with broken dependencies in place
    -m  Attempt to continue if archives are unlocatable
    -u  Show a list of upgraded packages as well
    -b  Build the source package after fetching it
    -V  Show verbose version numbers
    -c=? Read this configuration file
    -o=? Set an arbitrary configuration option, eg -o dir::cache=/tmp
  See the apt-get(8), sources.list(5) and apt.conf(5) manual
  pages for more information and options.
