To List all Installed Packages

Here "less" is a simple text reader used to scroll through the list of packages in a new buffer that opens in the existing terminal window. The list will not be mixed with other terminal commands and output. Hit 'q' to return to terminal prompt. See "man less" for more info.

dpkg -l | less

To check whether a package is installed or not:

dpkg -l {package_name}
dpkg -l vlc

To check if the package is installed or not (for example, vlc). If installed, launch the package:

dpkg -l | grep vlc

Show the location where the package is installed. The "-S" (capital S) stands for "search"

sudo dpkg -S {package_name}
sudo dpkg -S skype

To use Grep to search:

dpkg -l | grep {keywords}
dpkg -l | grep pdf
