To install packages in Puppy Linux, use the Puppy Package Manager (ppm on the command line) or the quickpet tool.

Thank you. I find the puppy package manager & quickpet are rather limited in the likes of slacko puppy. – Donbe_280385 Oct 10 '18 at 19:35

apt-get will not work you have to use pkg -i update and then pkg -get PACKAGENAME and then pkg -i PACKAGENAME
