Update the Package Index in Ubuntu

Answer:

In Ubuntu, the package index is managed by the Advanced Packaging Tool (APT).

The index of all the available packages from the repositories is defined in the file /etc/apt/sources.list file.

To update this package index, use the following command.

# sudo apt-get update

That is it.
