I am not sure what you are asking, it you want to install a program using the terminal you type
sudo apt-get install pi if pi is the program name
the terminal will ask for your password, type that in, you will not see what you type, just hit enter.

hi lindsay7
I know to install in the command line using apt get.
My qurrey is that. when I type a command in the command line pi it automaticaly matches the package and return the suggestion like
The program 'pi' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install pi
how this is achived. Do I need to configure apt get to report like that. If you see in debian apt-get is there but when i enter pi or any command it is not suggestion like done in the ubuntu. I want to configure debian too like ubuntu does
Thanks

This feature is done by the command-not-found package, this is all that I know about.
You can look in Synaptic what files does this package install, there is a README file and some doc.
