Use of apt-get in scripts is preferred because the interface is less likely to change.
Use of apt in scripts is discouraged and using dpkg removes the need to grep the output since the exit code indicates whether the package is installed. Also reversed the order of the conditions so the package check is skipped if force is enabled.

Use of
aptin scripts is discouraged since it is meant as a user facing tool and is subject to interface change.apt-getandaptare currently used at different points in desktopify. This PR changes all instances ofapt installtoapt-get install.In addition the check for already installed packages is changed to use
dpkgwhich besides eliminating the discouragedaptalso provides the advantage of returning the status of whether the packages are installed via the exit code so grepping output is not needed. I also reversed the order of the checks sodpkgis only run if the force option is not set.
