Pacman's equivalent in Ubuntu [duplicate]

I use pacman in Arch Linux for installing packages.

  • The command for installing is pacman -S,

  • The command for a full system upgrade is pacman -Syu and

  • The command for repository update is pacman -Syy.

I want to know what is the equivalent for pacman in Ubuntu and its corresponding command.

I have to refer you to this link from Arch Wiki which compares pacman commands with other package managers:

Arch Debian/Ubuntu
pacman -[S|Q]i apt show / apt-cache policy
pacman -Qi dpkg -s / aptitude show
pacman -Si apt-cache show / aptitude show
pacman -Ql dpkg -L
pacman -Fl apt-file list $pattern
pacman -Qo dpkg -S / dlocate
pacman -Ql dpkg-query -L
pacman -Fo apt-file search
pacman -Fs apt-file search
pacman -Qc apt-get changelog
pacman -Ss apt search
pacman -Qu apt-get upgrade -> n
pacman -Sl apt-cache dumpavail
...
...
