sudo: apt-get: command not found

I am trying to run the following command to install some libraries.

sudo apt-get install graphviz libgraphviz-dev pkg-config

It is however returning the following error.

sudo: apt-get: command not found

I lack the knowledge to know what is required to install to make this work.

Edit: I was using Mac. apt-get is not available to Mac.

Apt is not available for MacOS. There are other options such as Homebrew or Macports.

This question has been asked and answered on our Unix sister site:

It depends what version of linux you're using. Debian based distros use sudo apt-get <package_name> while Fedora based distros use yum install <package_name>.

To find out what version you're using execute command cat /etc/*-release as stated here: HowTo: Find Out My Linux Distribution Name and Version

If you are using Linux Ubuntu Debian, then use yum instead of apt-get. Change:

sudo apt-get install graphviz libgraphviz-dev pkg-config

to

sudo yum install graphviz libgraphviz-dev pkg-config

That should work.
