There's a useful guide here: <a href="http://newbiedoc.sourceforge.net/system/apt-get-intro.html" rel="nofollow">http://newbiedoc.sourceforge.net/system/apt-get...</a> - just ignore anything talking about apt-setup, as Application Manager takes care of those steps itself (and you don't want to interfere with it). Section 3 is especially useful because you can search to see if dependencies for packages you install manually happen to be available (Application Manager normally doesn't list everything so as to simplify the experience).

2. You don't want to be typing long filenames and directory names. It's tedious and you risk mistyping them. Just type the first few characters and press “Tab” under the terminal window.

An example. “$” and “#” are the shell prompts. Don't type them.
