Deb is the installation package format used by all Debian based distributions. Deb packages can be installed and uninstalled using either the command line or the graphical package manager.

The Ubuntu repositories contain thousands of deb packages which can be installed from the Ubuntu Software Center. If you prefer to install from the command line you can use the `apt` command line utility.
