May be because you are new to GNU/Linux, I would suggest you
start with the GUI tools first. You should most probably have
synaptic, or at least Ubuntu Software Manager if it is Ubuntu. You
will find that in System->Administration->Synaptic Package Manager on
a normal gnome 2.x desktop. You can search for the software you need
from synaptic.
But going forward, you can gradually learn how apt/aptitude
works and then start using it. If you find anything difficult or
intimidating, please feel free to ask. But before that, try to search
for a solution in the Internet. Finding solution ourself without too
much help from others is a great joy in itself :) Enjoy your
GNU/Linux. Thanks
