When I type in sudo apt-get update, I get "command not found".

When I type in sudo apt-get update, I get "command not found". I googled, but the answers talked about details that do not seem to be directly related to what we are learning here.

I am using this on Mac.

On Debian/Ubuntu the package manager is apt on OS X it's brew. Package managers will be covered in the next video.

For this video, ignore the apt-get commands. What you need to instead on Mavericks you need to install xcode commandline tools

xcode-select --install

Then verify that it worked with

xcode-select -p

Now you can proceed with the instructions in the video to build SQLite from source.

You can read about homebrew what you use on OS X instead of apt-get
