-bash: apt-get: command not found
Solution 1
The tool apt-get
is not a part of the Apple OSX family of products, and as such should not be expected to be found on a typical installation. One can, however, install apt, as a front-end for dpkg, using MacPorts. How useful, or advisable this would actually be is left as an exercise to the reader. To install said packages, one should perform the following command sequence.
/opt/local/bin/port selfupdate
/opt/local/bin/port install dpkg
/opt/local/bin/port install apt
After this, you're on your own....
Solution 2
I don't like macports.. I prefer homebrew

Over the course of uninstalling the HP/palm enyo SDK and installing node JS I somehow goofed up something (I think my path).
Now when I try use apt-get I get the following:
-bash: apt-get: command not found
I'm not really sure how to fix this. Here is my $PATH
/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/Users/wesbos/local/node/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/mysql/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin:/opt/PalmSDK/0.1/bin/
Using OSX Lion but problem was persistent with Snow Leopard

Wesley almost 13 yearsDid you use MacPorts or Fink to get apt-get on your Lion box? Fink doesn't support Lion yet.

Wesley almost 13 yearsPerhaps we should back up a bit. How did you get apt on your Mac in the first place since it's not shipped with OS X?

wesbos almost 13 years:| I'm not sure. Does it come with xcode? I've always just had it..
