This is not an error message but a guess that you posted. I would suggest you copy the exact error message and post it. Then we may be able to help.
Also the exact command you used.

Ok. i typed this "apt -get update" and also tried apt -get install" but i got the same error message:
apt command can be found in following packages
"java jkd 5.0
java jdk 6.0
and 2 more options"
at the end the error was bash:apt command not found

error message:

"#apt -get update (enter)
