Stay Up to Date

Here's what to do to ensure you have the latest packages installed on your machine. Run the following commands and enter your password when prompted:

1. Check for new updates.

sudo apt update

2. List of upgradeable packages.

apt list --upgradable

3. Install the updates

sudo apt upgrade

Three simple commands are all it takes. I'm running Ubuntu 20.04.5 LTS (GNU/Linux 5.10.16.3-microsoft-standard-WSL2 x86_64) on my Windows machine.
