In simple terms, the inclusion of "apt" runs the “package manager” used in Linux. That is certainly true if you use the Raspberry Pi operating system, and it appears it is true for almost all modern Linux operating systems.
If you are looking online for a tutorial on how to install packages, you might see “apt-get” or "apt-cache" used in examples they quote. Don't copy those examples directly, it should be safe to replace these older package managers with "apt". I have included [[#Package Manager – a brief technical aside|a little technical explanation]] at the end of this page if this really worries you.▼

If you are using an older operating system, it appears the tool available depends on the variant of Unix you have installed. The contributor of this section has done some online research, but is not familiar with all the Unix variants, so other contributors with fuller technical expertise may need to edit this section to make its applicability wider.
According to online documentation seen, some UNIX variants use a tool called '''RPM packet manager''', and this involves a command line specifying "zypper" in the second part of the command i.e. <code>sudo zypper install package_name</code>.
