install apt-get on linux Red Hat server

Question

I'm setting up a Linux Red Hat web server. apt-get isn't installed, but yum is. However, yum cannot find the apt package.

When I run apt-get, I get a message from the shell saying that the command apt-get couldn't be found. When I try yum install apt or yum install apt-get I get a message saying yum couldn't find the package and there was nothing to do

I suspect that it's probably a case of editing a sources list (as with apt) to add the source that apt is available from, but I a) don't know where this source list would be, and b) don't know what source would provide apt...

If anyone could enlighten me, it would be greatly appreciated

Answer 1

If you have a Red Hat server use yum. apt-get is only for Debian, Ubuntu and some other related linux.

Why would you want to use apt-get anyway? (It seems like you know what yum is.)

Answer 2

If you insist on using yum, try yum install apt. As read on this site: Link

Answer 3

I think you're running into problems because RedHat uses RPM for managing packages. Debian based systems use DEBs, which are managed with tools like apt.
