apt-get

linux

Command-line tool for handling packages in Debian-based distributions, part of the APT package management system

Pronunciation

Correct

APT-get

/ˈæptɡɛt/

APT stands for Advanced Package Tool. 'apt' is pronounced as a single word rhyming with 'rapt', not spelled out as letters.

Common Mistake

AY-PEE-TEE-get

/ˌeɪˌpiːˈtiːɡɛt/

Spelling out 'A-P-T' is unnecessary; 'apt' is treated as a word, not an initialism.
