Installing a Graphical Package Manager

The core of the Ubuntu ecosystem is 3rd-party packages. Ubuntu 20.04 LTS provides some packages as tradition Debian .deb packages in apt repositories. Sandboxed modern applications are provided as Snaps (such as xlnx-config). By default, the Certified Ubuntu on Xilinx Devices image does not provide a graphical package manager. If you would like to add one, there are several available in the existing Ubuntu package repository ecosystem.

A common lightweight package manager for apt packages is called synaptic. It can be installed with the following command:

Code Block
$ sudo apt install synaptic

The Ubuntu snap ecosystem provides a separate GUI for managing and installing snaps. The Ubuntu Snap Store application is called snap-store. It can be installed with the following command:

Code Block
$ sudo snap install snap-store
