There are GUI wrappers that issue the equivalent commands for you, but a lot of Linux users would just write something like this on the command line:

sudo apt install vlc

That's how you would install VLC (media player) on Debian linux without any prior file download or browsing. It connects to the Debian repository for you, downloads and installs.
