[ I assume that you mean that you don't have apt installed ]
I believe that a standard debian install *should* have apt. Which
distribution of debian did you install? Any errors reported during the
install (I hope so) ?
Apt is not *required* as such. It is quite feasible to run a debian
system without apt, but such a system would be cumbersome to keep
updated.
As long as you have dpkg installed and can get hold of the .deb for apt,
then you can :
# dpkg --install apt_xxxx.deb
Which leaves the problem of getting hold of the .deb file. Several
options:
- Have a look in /var/cache/apt/archives
- find it on your CD's
- Go to http://packages.debian.org/apt and download it
