googline your questions, and just messing about with it, are the best ways to learn.

Look for synaptic package manager. It will know about most standard programs but to use something like heekscad you are jumping in a lot deeper to get it installed but their git seems to have the instructions step by step.

To change system settings (rather than user settings) you typically have to use the "sudo" command to temporarily use admin privileges.
sudo date --set="22 MAY 2017 15:32:00"
