I skipped the downloading part in the final part of Ubuntu installation. What did I miss?

I was in a hurry while installing Ubuntu and saw the option to skip the downloads so I directly installed it with the basic stuff. Does the stuff that I skipped affect performance or anything else?

Solution 1:

You can do this in a few ways.

1. You can hit "Search your computer" -> and click on "Software Updater"

2. Open terminal, and type sudo apt-get update and then sudo apt-get upgrade -y

Both will get the remaining packages.

Solution 2:

If it boots and gets to Unity (the graphical desktop environment), then you should be fine. If you skipped and it works great, it must be a built-in program. You could ask what they were and just get them using the sudo apt-get install [package here] command.
