I was trying to install MemCached using this command: sudo aptitude install memcached, but I got the following error: sudo: aptitude: command not found.

After researching, I found out that Aptitude is an utility program to manipulate files, install out uninstall programs. I found several web pages explaining what Aptitude. However, I don't have the impression that any of them explains how to get Aptitude in the first place.

Is Aptitude already in Ubuntu so that I just need to enable it. Or should I download and install it?

Thanks for helping

You may need to update your sources first:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -y install aptitude
