Starting from 17.04, Ubuntu no longer include "Software Center" in it's repositories, i.e. you will not find "Software Center" in a fresh install of Ubuntu 17.04.

There are many alternatives available, for example:

  • Synaptic Package Manager

  • Ubuntu Software

  • Debian Package Search

You can install them by using the terminal:

  1. Open the terminal by pressing Ctrl+Alt+T.

  2. In the terminal type:

    • sudo apt-get install synaptic if you want Synaptic Package Manager;

    • sudo apt-get install ubuntu-software if you want Ubuntu Software; or

    • sudo apt-get install packagesearch if you want Debian Package Search.

You can also install packages directly through apt-get if you know exactly the package names of the packages you want to install.

Hope you have a great time using Ubuntu.
