Hi guys...i've recently bought my first MBB and i'm not familiar with Unix commads. What i'm trying to do with the MAC terminal (not Ubuntu) is sudo apt-get autoremove

..but first when i type su and my password, i get a Sorry! and then it says command not found.

Is there a way to do that? or it's just not possible on a Mac to build a dependency tree?

thanks

apt is a package management system that is used in debian linux variants. It is not on Mac (although I guess it technically could be). To be more direct, no you can't do that in OSX. There are some similar tools to install open source software on your Mac such as MacPorts.
