Amazon Linux: apt-get: command not found
If you're using Amazon Linux it's CentOS-based, which is RedHat-based. RH-based installs use yum
not apt-get
. Something like yum search httpd
should show you the available Apache packages - you likely want yum install httpd24
.
Note: Amazon Linux 2 has diverged from CentOS since the writing of this answer, but still uses
yum
.
Try to install your application by using yum
commandyum install application_name
Check the Linux distribution, apt-get
works in Debian based distro whereas yum
works in Fedora based distro.
Ref: How to know distro name, execute command cat /etc/*-release
It is also possible your system administrator does not permit you (or did not put you in the group of users who have sudo
permissions) to execute apt-get
but if you have sudo
access try to execute with sudo apt-get <package_name>
if debian
or yum install <package_name>
if you are using Fedora
.
