Re: apt-get
Apt get is already installed in Raspbian and most distros. What problem are you having?
There are 10 types of people: those who understand binary and those who don't.

That's one example!mrpi64 wrote:If the game has a *apt-get* after it, that means that it can be installed using "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install GAMENAME", replacing GAMENAME with the name of the game. The name can be found with an 'apt-cache search GAMENAME' search, using keywords. For example, for 'Flight of the Amazon Queen', you could try 'apt-cache search flight of the amazon queen', although some games may require something a bit more less wordy. Or use a search engine like DuckDuckGo (I'm not advertising, it's just my preference
. Plus, it looks pretty awesome with the terminal theme)

It's an example of someone telling you to use apt-get to install something on your computer, it isn't someone telling you to install apt-get on your computer.chexbox wrote:klricks wrote:You probably misunderstood.

Re: apt-get
Lets say I want to install the sims and the name of the package is sims. I would use the command sudo apt-get install sims.

Re: apt-get
Yes but don't forget to do sudo apt-get update before attempting to install anything (within the same day or so).kryptalivian wrote:Lets say I want to install the sims and the name of the package is sims. I would use the command sudo apt-get install sims.
