+## Installing & Uninstalling Applications via Terminal
+
+Launch the Terminal `SUPER` + `T` to Install applications using a command line interface. Terminal commands instruct package managers to retrieve application installation packages from repositories.
+
+### Flatpaks & .Deb Files
+
+**Flatpaks** will install a “containerized” version of the software. This means the software runs in its own sandbox, and the installation will include all dependencies and libraries required by the application. Flatpaks pull all dependencies from flathub.org, while installing with apt will pull from Ubuntu repos.
+
+Substitute `[packagename]` with the desired application (do not include brackets in the command).
+
+Apt install:
+
+```bash
+apt install [packagename]
+```
+
+Apt uninstall:
+
+```bash
+sudo apt remove [packagename]
+```
+
+Apt uninstall (alternative):
+
+```bash
+sudo apt purge [packagename]
+```
+
+Flatpak install:
+
+```bash
+flatpak install [packagename]
+```
+
+Flatpak uninstallL
+
+```bash
+flatpak uninstall [packagename]
+```
+
+## Updating POP!\_OS via Terminal

+
+### Managing Repositories
+
+Add, remove, and edit repositories using Repoman. Repoman allows users to add Personal Package Archives (PPAs). PPAs are created by developers to distribute software not included in default repositories. Users may want to add a PPA if their software is not included in the Pop!_Shop, or they may want to remove PPA’s after uninstalling a package.
+
+**Caution:** Adding PPA’s allows users to install software that has not been validated by System76 or other trusted linux repositories. PPA’s may not be vetted against packages that introduce security vulnerabilities. Users should take caution and only add PPA’s that they trust.
+
+1. Press `SUPER` and search for “Repoman"
+
+![cosmic repoman](/images/managing-apps/IURA_24_7.png)
