The Debian package apt-howto
is a good place to start with
understanding the apt (for Advanced Packaging Tools) suite of
tools. Once installed browse the file
/usr/share/doc/apt-howto/en/index.html.
Also, see the Debian FAQ at https://www.debian.org/doc/FAQ/. In
particular, Section 6 deals with the Packaging system. The Advanced
Package Tool (apt) is the recommended way of managing
packages under Debian. The command line interface is apt-get
but it is also used within wajig dselect,
deity, and aptitude. See
https://newbieDoc.sourceForge.net/system/apt-get-intro.html for a
great introduction to apt-get. Also see
/usr/share/doc/apt/offline.html/index.html on your local
Debian machine for using apt off line.
