I want to install bz2 lib from ssh to my CentOS server. I get it from here and use 

tar -xvf

command to extract it,but it does't have configure file to compile and install it. I need this lib to install apt-get on CentOS and it needs this lib. How can I install it from ssh? (sorry if my question is so simple,I start linux so late I think)

CentOS uses yum instead of apt-get. You can probably make apt-get work, but most of the docs and articles you find on the web are going to assume yum.

I want to install apt-get by yum.I get it apt-get source ,when I want to compile it ,it goes wrong because of libbz2 is not installed on server. – Moein7tl Aug 10 '11 at 21:49
@Moein7tl I don't have a CentOS box in front of me, and I haven't tried these instructions before, but this article supposedly walks you through installing apt using yum. At a glance, it looks reasonable, but that's all I can say for it. I will say one more time that it probably makes more sense to just learn how to use yum than trying to manage a CentOS using apt, but you know your own needs best. – Hank Gay Aug 11 '11 at 9:47
