oh i see, *nix system often have package manager, that is programs that
connect to a repository, where  there is the source code for you OS, then
the package manager download the source code and compiles it for your OS
version. The most popular Package manager are : Aptitude, apt-get, YUM,
Macports, fink, homebrew, among  others , and i have never used the windows
ones from which i only know of Cygwin. As a simple example Apple's app store
is kind of like a package manager. Ubuntu comes with with apt-get, in mac i
use homebrew.  In mac there is not apt-get so thats why you get the error.
You have to pass the proper package manager according to your OS, mac does
not comes with any so you have to install homebrew.
