Putty is a popular Windows SSH client that facilitates connections to remote Linux servers but is not always straightforward to install on Linux systems.
It is most commonly installed using the Linux distribution’s package manager, such as apt, yum, dnf, or pacman, depending on the distribution.
To install using the package manager, the relevant command is entered into the terminal, which then pulls and installs Putty and any required dependencies from the repositories.
Linux users who prefer a graphical user interface installation optioncan find Putty within the distro’s software center; each of the packages can be searched for, selected, and then installed via the “Install” button.
Additionally, there is further advice on uninstalling Putty using the equivalent package manager command.
