If any dependency is missing during installation doesn't it notify me that this dependency is missing install those first like windows Installer do.
In offline case not online installation from distro repository.
No... That's why I mentioned it'd be problematic to do it offline.
HOWEVER... Many applications don't need dependencies. So, you can trivially install those offline.
If it's online and you use something other than dpkg, dependencies are usually resolved easily. Even if you use something like GDebi (a GUI package installer), it will resolve the dependencies so long as it can download them.
Otherwise, you'd have to download the application's package and then download any dependencies. You'd first install the dependencies and then you could install the application.

Hello and welcome Chris.
I don't know much about other distributions, I use Linux Mint Cinnamon. And for the most part, here's the easy instructions for installing most software in Mint Cinnamon.
1. Click on the menu button at the bottom left corner of the desktop.
2. Click on software manager.
3. Navigate through the selections until you find the program you want to install.
4. Once you find the program you want, click install.
That's it. Once installed it will ask if you want to run the program or go back to software surfing.

I started with ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS. Because majority of tutorial video I found on ubuntu and even I see most of server related work is also done by ubuntu (if needed). I know there is different distro for that to but I find ubuntu is good in both side.

Welcome to Linux.org.
There's nothing "wrong", or "silly", or "cringe-worthy" about any of your questions.......because they're no different from those of any other individual that wants to try Linux, has probably used Windows all their life & doesn't know any other way. You want to know the answer to something, you ask questions; we all do it.....it's how we humans learn stuff.......and the only "silly" question - at the end of the day - is the question that you DON'T ask.
We'll do our very best to help out any way we can.......because we want to educate people about the "sensible" way of computing, one that gives you total control over your system & lets you do exactly what YOU want to do.

There is also another saying which says "No question is stupid, only an answer can be stupid"
Here's a site you should check out: https://easylinuxtipsproject.blogspot.com/p/2.html
A lot of it is written about Mint, but there are also a few sections concerning Ubuntu. And much of it is applicable to any Linux distro. I would especially advise you to read this page about security. Most people coming from Windows generally think they should have an AV, but it just is not necessary on Linux.
[Just for the record, I've only been on this forum for a little over a month, but I have been using Linux for about 8 years now.]

Hello again,
Well I have a question related to software/pakages, I post it here because we talked about software in here.
My question is in Linux my case ubuntu majority of pakages I install using apt command and it download and install software from repository (unless I give the link of repository like some pakage from GitHub), so what is this repository, where it's location, can I see this repository in internet, why people put there pakages which they created in repository, of any developer want to upload his work on Linux repository then he/she need to upload his work in every repository of every os distribution like in debian repository, in arch Linux repository, in redhat repository, Or there is any site like app store in Android.
Also if any engineer want to add price in his/her pakage then how the terminal handle that thing. (Like in Play Store there is payment system inbuild in it if any app need payment) so how this work is terminal default repository buy and sell system.
In simple work where is this repository and why majority of engineering upload there work in it, what they get.

You are unlikely to find pay to use apps in distribution repositories, as then are not either GNU or FOSS [this dosn't apply to some specialist distros that include service support contracts]

I read this link, it mainly says there is a repository like a market which the os is connected lots of pakages in there, and how to download it.
But my question remain same where is this repository, if I didn't see that repository (market) how did I take the pakage which I like, in present situation I need to know the package detail form somewhere else like maybe in some YouTube video then I able to download it from repository (eg gparted), but if I able to access that market (repository) then I choose lots of pakages which attract my attention.
Ok in simple way tell me if you created a pakage (eg unit converter) what will you do wher you put your pakage in repository. I know there eis other way like create GitHub account and put your pakage there or create your own site and create a download link. But what if you want to put in repository where you would go.
