You guys were very helpful last week in my quest to download Steam. I am operating Ubuntu on my Toshiba Chromebook 2 and had Football Manager downloaded and was all good until my girlfriend this morning has managed to reset my computer so I am now back to square one and need of some help.

I have just reinstalled Crouton on the KDE display, but it appears that the software centre is nowhere to be found. I have tried the prompt;

sudo apt-get install software-center

But I am greeted with the message

sudo: 

 apt-get: command not found

I promised my friends I'd have it installed today and they're all round my house today for a gaming session so if I can get this resolved I'll be grateful, you're already legends in my eyes. Cheers.

Matt.

It would be good to know how the PC was resetted and what has been done exactly. As far my reserach (googeling) braught me: Terminal: sudo: apt-get: command not found suggest a clean reinstall.

Something went wrong with your installation. try to locate apt-get. it should be in /usr/bin/apt-get/. If not, see if the file is actually there. Then check the $PATH: echo $PATH. Is /usr/bin/ completely empty? In that case, your only option is to reinstall Ubuntu. Or is there just no file apt-get? Then download and manually install the apt package, as follows: look at your /etc/apt/sources.list to find the correct mirror, then go to that mirror, to the pool/main/a/apt/ directory, download the correct .deb file for your architecture, and install it with sudo dpkg -i apt-xxx.deb

If you have too many empty folders(/home etc...) then better to reinstall Ubuntu all over again.
