Am using a university network that uses a proxy, which has its login details in the format:

registration: number@students (e.g "i39/3433/2014@students")

and a password: password@uyn (e.g "uns@uyn")

I am wondering how i will export these login credentials so that a Linux Mint 17 terminal will be is able to install, update, and download.

you can try on console

export http_proxy="http://user:pass@proxy.foo.bar"

If you don't have user/pass you can export as

export http_proxy="http://proxy.foo.bar"

replace "proxy.foo.bar" to an IP if you need

(I post as answer because I can't post as comment)
