Update a Single Package With apt Command in Ubuntu and Debian
|
|||
|
|
======
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
How do you [update your Ubuntu system in the command line][1]? You use the apt update (to refresh the package cache) and apt upgrade commands.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
It updates all the installed apt packages that can be upgraded at once. This includes the Linux kernel version, too.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
This seems like a good thing, especially for desktop users. That may not be the case for Ubuntu server users where you have crucial web services running.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
If you want to be selective about the updates and **only want to upgrade a single package**, use this command:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
sudo apt install --only-upgrade package_name
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Let’s see it in a bit more detail.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Upgrade single package using apt command
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The first step is to update the local package repository cache so that your system knows about the availability of new package versions.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
sudo apt update
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**This is optional**. Check if the package you want to upgrade is in the [list of upgradable packages][2].
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
apt list --upgradable
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
If the desired package has a new version available, you can choose to upgrade only this single package with this command:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
sudo apt install --only-upgrade package_name
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
If you run the apt install command on an already installed package, it will be upgraded to the next available version.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
But if the package is not installed already, the apt command will also install it.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
This is why the `--only-upgrade` part is necessary. With that option, the apt command will only upgrade an already installed package. It will not install the package if it is not already installed.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Not the best-suited example for Ubuntu server users, but you can still see how I upgraded only one of the seven upgradable packages in the below screenshot.

|||

|
### Upgrade selected packages only
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
If you want to upgrade a selected few packages, you don’t have to update them one by one. Just provide the package names with the command mentioned earlier.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
sudo apt install --only-upgrade package1 package2 package3
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Here’s an example.

|
### Conclusion
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
When you are faced with a situation where you have to upgrade selected packages, you can use the apt install command with –only-upgrade option.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
I recommend reading on [using apt command to use it more effectively][5].
