====== Installing/removing with apt-get ======

===== Installing applications =====
To install applications to your new server, simply type the following (where <your application> is the name of the application you want to intall:

  apt-get install <your application>

For complete details on the options of apt-get, use the **man apt-get** command.






===== sources.list =====
If, after typing **apt-get install <name of application>** you get the message:

  Reading package lists... Done
  Building dependency tree
  Reading state information... Done
  **E: Couldn't find package** <your application>

This means that you either made a typo in the name of the application, or that it can't be found in one of the repositories listed in **etc/apt/sources.list** on your server. 

A quick web search will usually tell you which repository you need to add to the **sources.list** file in order to fetch the package you're after. You will then need to edit the **sources.list** file (with Nano, for instance) and add a new line for the repository you're adding.

<note>
Nano is by far the best text editor in SSH, but you will need to install it (with the **apt-get install nano** command). The nano package will be available on your Gandi server's default repositories. Once it is installed, type **nano <name of the file>** to edit a file.
</note>


Once this is done, save changes and enter the following command:

  apt-get update

Once this has been done, you can retry the **apt-get install <your application>** command, and if the application indeed was in the new repository, it should work.
