how to install gparted on live fedora usb?

Fedora does not use the Debian family package managers, apt-get, aptitude, apt-cache... It has its own package manager called yum: you ought to look it up here. This way you will certainly find Gparted.

    i have recently removed ubuntu and installed debian on my entire hdd. currently /dev/sda1, the partition debian is on, takes up almost all of /dev/sda, minus 3gb which is a swap partion. i would like to dual boot fedora, which i have on a live version on a usb. however when trying to install fedora, it was giving me a hard time resizing the /dev/sda1 partion so i could complete the install.
    i figured i could just boot the live usb of fedora, open gparted, and resize the partions that way. however, for some reason after sudo apt-get install synaptic; synaptic is not able to be found on the live fedora... so i did sudo apt-get install gparted; and similarly i, after seemingly installing both synaptic and gparted, am unable to find either on the live fedora.

    i feel like im trying to pull myself up by my boots here, what am i doing wrong

      also it is worth noting; i searched for gparted live in synaptic in debian... it is not there, only gparted. also, i tried downloading gparted live from the site, but nothing seemed to work there either

    i see, that explains it all. and i would never have known this being a previous ubuntu user because ubuntu like debian uses apt-get... thank you much!
