The terminal commands to update are:

$ sudo apt-get update

Then

$ sudo apt-get upgrade

If new files are to be installed, like new Linux kernels, the upgrade
command is

$ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Finally, if you want more control over your software updating (a GUI to
see various connections and sources, try Synaptic)

$ sudo apt-get install synaptic

I have a brief mention of synaptic in my review of Xubuntu 18.04 at
