It looks like you somehow deleted APT (Advanced Package Tools) from your computer. Since APT (
apt-get, etc.) is no longer on your computer, you will not be able to use it to download/install itself (or anything else).
You can use
wget to download the
.deb file of APT, and then use
dpkg (
Debian
Pac
ka
ge tool) to install APT from that
.deb file.
Since UberStudent 4.3 is based on Xubuntu/Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, you want the appropriate version of
APT for Ubuntu 14.04.
If you installed 64-bit UberStudent you would download the 64-bit version of APT...
Code:
williamvw@uberstudent:~$ wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/a/apt/apt_1.0.1ubuntu2.13_amd64.deb
If you installed 32-bit UberStudent you would download the 32-bit version of APT...
Code:
williamvw@uberstudent:~$ wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/a/apt/apt_1.0.1ubuntu2.13_i386.deb
You would then use
dpkg to install whichever
.deb file you downloaded...
Code:
williamvw@uberstudent:~$ sudo dpkg --install apt_1.0.1ubuntu2.13_amd64.deb
