bash: sudo: command not found | ea-utils installation [CLOSED]

I am following this tutorial. I already have .fastq files. I want to install ea-utils.

My setup is Ubuntu 18.04 bionic, via Oracle VM Virtual Box.

In terminal, I enter command:

>>> sudo apt-get install ea-utils
bash: sudo: command not found

sudo apt install ea-utils and sudo apt-get install ea-utils both throw

E: Unable to locate package ea-utils

How can I rectify this?

Update: I am now going to use Linux, as all tutorials use it.

fastq ea-utils reads bash linux

You don't have sudo installed.

Sudo is not installed in Debian by default. You can install it with the command

apt-get install sudo

when logged in as root.

Hi, I'm on Windows, using Git Bash. Sorry I didn't specify.

sudo is not available on Windows - it is a Unix command

I thought you are using the Linux subsystem on Windows but if not, what you are doing cannot work at all.

The instructions you are following are for Unix.

Ah ok! Is there a tutorial for installing and navigating this system for Windows?

I would open a new question, this thread is now is out of relevance probably out of suync, as you changed the post, etc. make a new thread,
