How to replace apt-get source on Ubuntu 18.04

When using apt-get to install, it will be very slow. After replacing the domestic source, this problem can be solved.

1. Backup sources.list file

sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.bak

2. Open the sources.list file

sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

3. Delete the original content and add the following content

Alibaba Cloud Source

deb http://mirrors.aliyun.com/ubuntu/ bionic-security main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://mirrors.aliyun.com/ubuntu/ bionic-updates main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://mirrors.aliyun.com/ubuntu/ bionic-proposed main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://mirrors.aliyun.com/ubuntu/ bionic-backports main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://mirrors.aliyun.com/ubuntu/ bionic main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://mirrors.aliyun.com/ubuntu/ bionic-security main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://mirrors.aliyun.com/ubuntu/ bionic-updates main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://mirrors.aliyun.com/ubuntu/ bionic-proposed main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://mirrors.aliyun.com/ubuntu/ bionic-backports main restricted universe multiverse

Both of these sources can be used. I have tried both and I feel that Alibaba Cloud Source is faster.

4. Update

You need to update apt-get after saving the sources.list file.

sudo apt-get update

After the update is complete, it can be used normally.
