As usual, the complete documentation is to be found by means of:

man apt-get
man apt-cache
man apt-mark

But in general you will just need:

- apt-get install package (...)
- apt-get remove package (...)
- apt-get purge package (like remove, but also purges config files)
- apt-get update (update the list of available packages from repos)
- apt-get upgrade (upgrade all packages you can)
- apt-get dist-upgrade (like upgrade, but also installs new version of
        existing packages and manages the corresponding deps)


- apt-get autoremove (remove all packages which are not required by any
                 manually installed package)


- apt-cache search something (search "something" among all package
                   descriptions. "something" can be a POSIX regex(7))


- dpkg --search /bin/ls (which package has installed "/bin/ls"?)

- dpkg -L package (which files have been installed by "package"?)
