Advanced Package Tool (APT) is a free software user interface that works with core libraries to handle the installation and removal of software on various Linux distributions. APT offers a centralized interface for software management and a better experience than having to download and install software one by one. Tencent Cloud hosts APT sources so you can install software without adding sources.
