slapt-get is a command line tool for Slackware package management. It allows one to search Slackware/Salix mirrors for packages, compare them with installed packages, install new packages, or upgrade all installed packages. To use the application, open a Terminal window and first issue the command
sudo slapt-get -u
in order to update the package database on your computer. Then
slapt-get -l
to list all the available packages,
slapt-get --search [package name]
to search for a package, and
sudo slapt-get -i [package name]
to install a package. For more command line instructions, please refer to
slapt-get --help
Here is a little exercise for you. Try installing w3m which is a terminal based web browser, by using slapt-get.
