George has a good point, it is helpful to better define one's specific implementation. At the same time he has answered the question.
I use the Fedora distro and now know how to proceed with apt. My thanks to George.

Which distribution are you using? Do you already have apt loaded and you want to automate its use or do you need to install it? Apt is the package manager for the Debian distribution, but it has been ported to other distributions such as Fedora. If you are using Fedora Core and have followed Jarod's guide, you should already have apt installed. If you are using another distribution, apt may not run on that distribution or it may have perfectly a useful package managers that work as well as apt. If you happen to be using Fedora Core, go to Axel's web site www.atrpms.net and follow the instructions there for the version of Fedora that you are using (you should look for the "kickstart" package). DO NOT do this if you are using another distribution.
