Is there apt-get install analog command in Buildroot? I want to install some applicatin but how?
From documentation of BuildRoot:
Buildroot is not meant to be a distribution
(or rather, a distribution generator.) It is the opinion of most
Buildroot developers that this is not a goal we should pursue.
We prefer to push Buildroot in a direction that makes it easy
(or even easier) to generate complete root filesystems. This is what
makes Buildroot stands out in the crowd (among other things, of
course!) We believe that for most embedded Linux systems, binary
packages are not necessary, and potentially harmful.
So, It seems No! you can not do that by using apt. you need to directly add your packages based on documentation
By default in LINUX/UBUNTU Operating system is having apt-get installed so you can directly start using sudo apt-get install [Package Name that you want to install]

When I run yum update, it lists the packages that it will upgrade. For one of the packages, kernel, it lists it under the "Installing" header. All other packages are listed under the "Upgrading" header. Why does it say that is "Installing" that package? The current version of that package is 4.14.104-95.84.amzn2 and it will be upgraded/installed to 4.14.114-103.97.amzn2. This is not even a major version change, in which case, it might have made sense. Is there a general case where this happens? Or is this only specific to kernel and related packages, since they are special in a sense?
From here - https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/8-beta/html/managing_monitoring_and_updating_the_kernel/updating-kernel-with-yum_managing-monitoring-and-updating-the-kernel
The yum package manager always installs a new kernel instead of replacing the current one, which could potentially leave your system unbootable.
The system must be rebooted after installing kernel package for consistency, integrity reasons.
Also yum handles updating the kernel package so that end-user need not worry about upgrading or installing it.

I've received a linux-yocto box. I now I'm trying to installing some software, on ubuntu I use apt-get but it seems not to work/installe. so I've tried yum same result.
so my question is, is there a way to find out which package manager is install on my linux system ?
thanks in advance !
Yocto is using either rpm, dpkg, or opkg as the package manager. If the tools are installed on the image, which isn't a requirement, then the binaries are either dnf (or yum if it is a really old release), apt-get, or opkg respectively.
There's a reasonable chance that you've been given an image without a package manager or a working feed though. The joy of Yocto is that it is so flexible, so you should ask whoever gave you the software.

I'm running through an AngularJS tutorial, and in the get started section it says:
In Debian based distributions, there is a name clash with another
utility called node. The suggested solution is to also install the
nodejs-legacy apt package, which renames node to nodejs.
apt-get install nodejs-legacy npm
nodejs --version
npm --version
I don't understand what a Debian based distribution means, even after going to https://packages.debian.org/sid/nodejs-legacy
As a side note, I've used Angular and Node before in other tutorials, so I am not sure if I should follow this get-started part. I'm sort of going with it now because I installed nvm without intending to or understanding what it is for.
Loosely if the Linux distribution is using dpkg and using the apt package manager you could consider it a Debian Based distribution ie Debian/Ubuntu. There are quite a few, you can see a list here...
https://www.debian.org/misc/children-distros
Wikipedia has a good page with more details on Linux distributions. The Debian list can be found here...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Linux_distributions#Debian-based
It's worth clicking on the image to see just how many distributions Debian has spawned.

What command do I run in order to update firefox using rpm?
I have been asked this question and am not aware how to do it. Any help will be appreciated.
You perhaps could do this using your distro's software updater, but suppose you've got FF's installer (rpm) file and also suppose that it's called firefox.rpm. You should then do:
rpm -Uvh firefox.rpm
If you don't have any previous FF version installed on your computer you might as well do:
rpm -ivh firefox.rpm
Alternatively, if you have yum configured on rpm based systems (RHEL or Fedora) you could simple run the below command, this would download and update the dependencies, instead of just updating only a single firefox rpm.
`yum update firefox`

I have installed tesseract-ocr with apt-get
and now
i want to get svn code, make some changes in it and compile it on my own and install again.
I want first instance remain, and give a different name to newly installing instance. But installation, make procedures and linux logic requires put .h files into general folders like "/usr/include" without specific folders.
So what is the easiest path to install another instance of the same program. Thanks
You need to install it with a different prefix. When the program publisher had the foresight to use an autoconf-like configure script, you can simply use the --prefix option:
$ ./configure --prefix=`pwd`/install
to install the library in the install subdirectory. For CMake and other "improved" build systems, read their documentation, many do provide some switch for that.
