Installing git "sudo: apt-get: command not found"

Question

I am trying to install git. I run the following command:

sudo apt-get install git-core git-gui git-doc

But receive the following error: sudo: apt-get: command not found

What should I do?

What Linux distribution are you using? – jofel Mar 07 '12 at 18:30 — jofel, Mar 07 '12 at 18:30
I think it is 2.6.9-023stab048.6-enterprise #1 SMP – Lucy Weatherford Mar 07 '12 at 18:36 — Lucy Weatherford, Mar 07 '12 at 18:36
Sorry it is CentOS release 5.2 (Final) – Lucy Weatherford Mar 07 '12 at 18:40 — Lucy Weatherford, Mar 07 '12 at 18:40
CentOS uses yum if I'm not mistaken. – Lekensteyn Mar 07 '12 at 18:49 — Lekensteyn, Mar 07 '12 at 18:49
so what should I do? what is the comand I should use? – Lucy Weatherford Mar 07 '12 at 19:59 — Lucy Weatherford, Mar 07 '12 at 19:59

Since you're using CentOS 5, the default package manager is yum, not apt-get. To install a program using it, you'd normally use the following command:

$ sudo yum install <packagename>

However, when trying to install git this way, you'll encounter the following error on CentOS 5:

$ sudo yum install git
Setting up Install Process
Parsing package install arguments
No package git available.
Nothing to do

This tells you that the package repositories that yum knows about don't contain the required rpms (RPM Package Manager files) to install git. This is presumably because CentOS 5 is based on RHEL 5, which was released in 2007, before git was considered a mature version control system. To get around this problem, we need to add additional repositories to the list that yum uses (We're going to add the RPMforge repository, as per these instructions).

This assumes you want the i386 packages. Test by running uname -i. If you want the x86_64 packages, replace all occurrences of i386 with x86_64 in the following commands

First, download the rpmforge-release package:

$ wget http://packages.sw.be/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.5.3-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm

Next, verify and install the package:

$ sudo rpm --import http://apt.sw.be/RPM-GPG-KEY.dag.txt
$ rpm -K rpmforge-release-0.5.3-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm
$ sudo rpm -i rpmforge-release-0.5.3-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm

And now we should be able to install git:

$ sudo yum install git-gui

yum will work out the dependencies, and ask you at relevant points if you want to proceed. Press y for Yes, and n or return for No.

That's a shame :( If anyone knows anywhere else where that rpm can be obtained from then it'd be great to update the answer, although given CentOS 6 has been around since 2011 and git was available in the default repository this will hopefully become less and less of a problem for people over time. — Edd, Jun 14 '17 at 14:28
I added my build script in an Answer below to build Git from sources. I gave up trying to find trusted sources for third party repos with the package. — , Jun 14 '17 at 20:35

Are you using a Debian-related distro? If not, you may need to use a different package manager, like YUM (nowadays Red Hat, CentOS, etc.), Portage, Entropy, RPM, etc.

When using a Debian-related distro:

What does it give you?

$ command -V apt-get
apt-get is /usr/bin/apt-get

Is the binary really there?

$ file /usr/bin/apt-get
/usr/bin/apt-get: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.18, stripped

Thank you for answering. I'm getting -bash: command: apt-get: not found for the first one. and apt-get: ERROR: cannot openapt-get' (No such file or directory)` for the second.. So what does this mean? that it is not there? is there a replacement? should I add it somehow? how? is there any other way to install git? thanks – Lucy Weatherford Mar 07 '12 at 18:46
@LucyWeatherford Seems that you're not using a Debian related distro so an easy way to find which distro you are on is to run lsb_release -a finding the righ distro you're on will tell you what package manager is available e.g. YUM and RPM if you're using Red Hat or CentOS. – alemani Mar 07 '12 at 18:54
it is yum, centos. what should I try with yum then? – Lucy Weatherford Mar 07 '12 at 20:02
@LucyWeatherford Please read [link]http://www.centos.org/docs/4/html/yum/sn-managing-packages.html you need to understand the basics of managing packages with YUM if your background is APT you will find the equivalences between commands e.g. apt-get install <package_name> becomes yum install <package_name> be aware that different distros have different package names. – alemani Mar 07 '12 at 21:38

If you are willing to build Git from sources, then the following may help. They are build scripts from Noloader Github | Build-Scripts. I use them for old OSes, like CentOS 5 and a MIPS ci20 dev board. The distros no longer maintain the repos, so this is the only reliable way to update the software. The scripts are also useful for newer OSes, like Solaris, since Oracle wants you to buy a service contract to get the updates.

Here's the Git script. Its added here to ensure there's some substance to the answer. But you should go back to the GitHub since I modify them on occasion to get the latest release of some packages.
