[linux] Amazon Linux: apt-get: command not found

Check the Linux distribution, apt-get works in Debian based distro whereas yum works in Fedora based distro.

Ref: How to know distro name, execute command cat /etc/*-release

It is also possible your system administrator does not permit you (or did not put you in the group of users who have sudo permissions) to execute apt-get but if you have sudo access try to execute with sudo apt-get <package_name> if debian or yum install <package_name> if you are using Fedora.
