Seems this course is in a shell environment. Actually apt-get is the way you install things on Debian/Ubuntu unix distribution.

But you have the treehouse console (bottom right of the video), where you can normally follow along with the video.

On windows 10, install it from the website and open it via the Desktop Icon or Start menu =)
