 +======Programs & Applications====== 
 +=====dpkg -l===== 
 +''dpkg -l'' lists all the installed programs on a Debian apt based system.  There are too many to list all and many are built in system commands.

 +    *To run automatically when opening the terminal add the following to  
 +    ++++~/.bashrc:|

 +=====Python===== 
 +I have been using the Python package management software pipx. 
 +++++pipx installation and usage notes|   
 +  * ''sudo apt install pipx''  ([[https://pypa.github.io/pipx/|pipx]] — Install and Run Python Applications in Isolated Environments)

 + 
 +As can be seen glances uses ''pipx'' this is a good reference that explains some use of ''pipx'' commands, [[https://www.marsja.se/pipx-installing-uninstalling-upgrading-python-packages-in-virtual-envs/|Pipx: Installing, Uninstalling, & Upgrading Python Packages in Virtual Envs]].  Some key ones are: 
 +  *''pipx list'' to list the installed python packages under pipx 
 +  *''pipx upgrade package'' to upgrade a python package under pipx 
 +  *''pipx uninstall package'' to uninstall a pipx package 
 +++++ 
 +Some python packages: 
 +  *[[https://github.com/nicolargo/glances|glances]],  is an open-source system cross-platform monitoring tool. Also see [[https://wiki.kptree.net/doku.php?id=linux_router:misc&s[]=glances#glances|KPTree Glances]]
