deb
based distributions provide apt or apt-get to manage packages interactively and from network repositories. While updating packages update

When doing your Google searches, make sure you prefix the search string with 'Mac' so that you get Mac OS X based solutions. Solutions which give you Linux solutions will make assumptions about tools (such as apt-get) that may not exist on Mac OS X.
Apt-Get/Apt Update
update
command will simply get the packages information from repositories. These repositories are remote internet sites that provide packages and their metadata. We will get metadata or package information and then compare it with locally installed or downloaded package information and metadata. This will not download any packages.
Apt-Get/Apt Upgrade
The real update operation will be down with upgrade
command. This command will download packages and upgrade accordingly. So upgrade
command will be run after update
command. We should have root privileges in order to completely update operation so we will use sudo
before upgrade
command.

which will make our upgrade operation more easy and intelligent.
