difference between wget and apt get

Im trying to install google's tensor flow API and i'm following their instructions on this link to no avail. after typing the following command:

sudo apt-get install python-pip python-dev

i get:

sudo: apt-get: command not found

I'm new to Linux and i was told there are tow types, red-hat and a nameless parallel, which answers respectively to either wget or apt-get. I was also told i need to adjust the commands. (wget does works)

is this true? What is the accurate difference between wget and apt-get? how do i adjust the commands to my situation?

i'm working with:

SUSE Linux Enterprise server 11 (x86_64) release 11

apt-get is a package manager for Debian distros while SUSE Linux is equipped with zypper. You can use:

zypper install python-devel python-pip

You can also compile python without using package manager like zypper. Wget is used to download things and is not a package manager. Thus when you will compile, you'll need the package. So you'll use wget.

Suse Linux has not installed apt-get by default. you should go with zypper:

zypper install python-devel python-pip

apt-get is a packagemanagment system while wget is only good for filetransfer
