The Slackware command is:  installpkg
The BasicLinux command is:  pkg

Neither of those commands go anywhere.  The specified
package must be present.  The commands simply unpack
the package and run the installation script (if there 
is one included in the package).

AFAIK "apt get" does a lot more.
