-In Linux, you (mainly) install software through the package manager that ships with your distribution. The software is then downloaded from a repository which is a collection of packages that is managed by the distribution. The distribution managers make sure that no malware is added to the repository. The package manager does also take care of verifying the downloaded package before installation. This is done using some cryptographic methods and prevents man in the middle attacks or installation of packages that were corrupted during the download process.
