I have created a Redhat VM in Azure for the first time. Now, I want to install a GUI and XRDP on this VM but when I am trying to run the following commands

sudo apt-get update
sudo DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get -y install xfce4
sudo apt install xfce4-session

It is throwing error that apt-get command not found.

    Hello @Sharma, Amit (DI SW GS&CS AP IN GSS MOM) ,

    Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Q&A platform. Happy to answer your question.

    It means that apt package manager is not installed or available on the machine. You need to install it first inorder to use it. Adding a reference for your help here
    Azure XRDP : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/linux/use-remote-desktop?tabs=azure-cli

    Hope this helps!
