 <simpara>In Debian and systems based on it such as Ubuntu, Linux Mint, and Raspbian, the package format is the .deb file. Apt, the Advanced Packaging Tool, provides commands used for most common operations: Searching repositories, installing collections of packages and their dependencies, and managing upgrades. APT commands operate as a front-end to the lower-level dpkg utility, which handles the installation of individual .deb files on the local system, and is sometimes invoked directly.</simpara>
