December 7, 2012The easiest way to install apps on Ubuntu without using the software center is to download a .deb file from the app’s website (e.g. Google Chrome) and double click and follow the instructions to install.

December 8, 2012you will have to do it via the terminal with the command sudo apt-get and program name but i dont know why you would wanna do it that way unless you are really into installing apps via the terminal…

December 9, 2012ctrl – alt – t (this opens a terminal session)
sudo-apt get install (app you want to install)
You’ll probably need the software center anyway to get the names of the app.

January 13, 2013Like others have said, you can either obtain the .deb package and use gdebi to install or you can use the command line and use sudo apt-get install program-name.
Make sure that you have the proper ppa’s installed so you can install from the command line. And only install ppa’s from a trusted source.

February 26, 2013I like to use terminal and run sudo apt-get install , I recently started using apt-fast.
copy paste this into the terminal:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:apt-fast/stable && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install apt-fast
