Well, it’s pretty pointless if you’re not telling us any outputs you’re getting.

It should be pretty straightforward, once you know the name of the package you want to install.
“apt-get install <package-name>”
If you’re not running as root, you’ll need to sudo
“sudo apt-get install <package-name>”

Check package name. If it is correct apt-get must be work.
N yes dont forget to put sudo if not root user.
