Terminal: sudo: apt-get: command not found
The short answer:
Re-install Ubuntu from a Live CD or USB.
The long version:
The long version would be a waste of your time: your system will never be clean, but if you insist you could try:
- copying everything (missing) except for the /home folder from the Live CD/USB to your HDD.
OR
- do a re-install/repair over the broken system again with the Live CD / USB stick.
OR
- download the deb file for apt-get and install as explained on above posts.
I would definitely go for a fresh new install as there are so many things to do and so little time.
I faced the same issue regarding apt-get: command not found
here are the steps how I resolved it on Ubuntu Xenial
Search the appropriate version of apt from here (
apt_1.4_amd64.deb
for ubuntu xenial)Download the apt.deb
wget http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/a/apt/apt_1.4_amd64.deb
Install the apt.deb package
sudo dpkg -i apt_1.4_amd64.deb
Now we can easily run
sudo apt-get install <Package_Name>
