Apt-get : command not found

HI,

My linux machine does not have apt-get support. Could anybody tell me how can I install the apt-get command itself ?

Thanks,

Are you sure? It should be part of a standard Ubuntu install.

What do these commands return

uname -a

cat /etc/lsb-release

file apt-get

ls -l /usr/bin/apt-get

and

dpkg -l apt

echo $PATH

If you do need to install it then..

Install the apt package from a CD/USB or use wget to retreive it (and any depencencies) and install the deb files.

Kind regards

What version of Ubuntu are you running, and how are you running it?

Its not ubuntu, Its Cent OS. .!

[Rafterman414]

CentOS uses yum. So it would be

yum install gcc

to install gcc for example.

Ubuntu and CentOS/RHEL use different package managers. Ubuntu uses .deb (Debian Packages) and CentOS uses .rpm (Red Hat Package Manager)

Also you should have placed this in the other distro section of the forums instead of the Ubuntu section. It gets confusing.

Thread moved to Other OS/Distro Talk.

I've moved your thread to "Other OS/distro talk" and added the "Centos" tag, so other users of the forums don't get confused.
