Enabling proxy under Debian

In order to enabled a proxy, there's two main places (at least for my use this did the trick, there's probably are others). The first one is simple defining the following variables:

export http_proxy="http://your.proxy.com:your_port"

export ftp_proxy="http://your.proxy.com:your_port"

Secondly in order to have apt-get work through proxy, you need to update /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/proxy (or create it):

Acquire::http::Proxy "http:///your.proxy.com:your_port";
