Adept Package Manager

Adept is a graphical frontend to the APT package management system for the K Desktop Environment (KDE). Adept provides an easy-to-use interface with which users can perform software management operations.

Adept can be started from the K menu system or the command line. In order to start Adept, you will be required to provide your password.

To start Adept from the menu system select K Menu → System → Adept (Package Manager).

To start Adept from the command line:

kdesu adept

Both methods require that you enter your password. This will run Adept with root privileges which will be required in order to perform the requested operations. It is therefore advised that you use Adept with caution since improper usage could lead to the removal, deletion, or corruption of software packages that are required to preserve system integrity.

For more help with using Adept, please refer to the Adept Handbook.
