I am very fresh in Linux. I tried to use the sudo apt-get command to install both wget and curl utilities. To do that I ran at the following CLI commands:

sudo apt-get curl
sudo apt-get wget

Both inputs give the error Invalid operation; No further information is given.

I tried to do man invalid || man Invalid, but there seem to be no entries for these terms.

Google search yielded zero results for "sudo apt-get wget" + "invalid operation".

For curl problem I did found a solution here but I would humbly prefer having an expert's take on this before trying it (as I really need wget as well and want to understand the root of the problem).

    And what are these command supposed to do? wget is installed by default, so if you need it, use it. – muru Jun 21 '16 at 05:13

That's because apt-get does not have any option like curl or wget.

Perhaps you wanted to install/upgrade the packages, if so then:

sudo apt-get install wget
sudo apt-get install curl

The package name goes as argument to apt-get's option e.g. install, remove etc.
