Hi @sravanipalem,

Try to execute the update the following way first

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

Usually this error happens when you miss type the apt command, which doesn’t seem to be case here however make sure you haven’t actually switched your keyboard language and miss typed any of the characters.
