Running Ubuntu Linux on your Windows machine?

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.
