Once you are up and running after your initial debian install, the 
commands are:

to update the system:
$> apt-get update

to see what will be upgraded after the above update command(-s means to 
simulate I guess):
$> apt-get -s upgrade

and to actually upgrade (get the newer versions of already installed 
programs):
$> apt-get upgrade


to install new software(supposed you want the game chromium):
$> apt-get install chromium


For more details, see:
$> man apt-get

You may want to kown what "-u" options means.
