No command 'apt' found, did you mean:

When I try to run:

apt –get install vsftpd 

I get the error:

No command 'apt' found, did you mean:

apt: command not found

What gives? -.-

Try running

apt-get install vsftpd 

There shouldn't be a space after the "apt" ...

As stated, the correct command is apt-get. However, you are more than likely going to need to sudo install it as the root user.. so if installing doesn't work, try sudo apt-get install vfghty and enter your password when it asks. Hopefull that works, good luck!
