This is a brief explanation of the function of the commands used in the installation and uninstallation package ferm:

• apt get update: this command does not install any packages or any dependencies on them. it simply updates the list of available packages and the updates available to them.
• apt get install ferm: the command apt-get install checks the dependencies of the package we want to install, downloads the package, verifies it and then passes the execution to the dpkg command to install it.
• dpkg l ferm: with this command we list all the packages installed on our computer. by including the name of the package at the end of the command, we can filter for results that contain only that string.
• sudo apt get clean: this command deletes all packages that are in the computer's cache. that is, the packages that were downloaded but never installed or the dependencies that were left in the cache after a new package was installed.
• sudo apt get remove ferm: this command deletes a package installed on our computer but keeps all the configuration files of the package. this is done so that if we want to reinstall the same package on a photo, the settings we would have made are preserved.
• sudo apt get autoremove ferm: this command deletes orphaned or unused packages and dependencies that remain installed after an application has been installed and then removed.
• sudo apt get purge ferm: we use this command to not only remove the package, but also to remove all the configuration files and their properties. we use this command to completely remove a package from the system.
• sudo apt get autoremove purg ferme: we use this command to completely remove a package and all configuration files from it. this is the best way to completely remove a package from your computer.
