Help with command line syntax, please

I'm trying to install Audacious, and noted two command lines to do so from an online source. Either they're not correct, or I'm not spacing it right. Corrected versions will be much appreciated.
This is what I'm doing and getting:

ian@ThinkPad-T500:~$ sudo apt -get update
E: Command line option 'g' [from -get] is not understood in combination with the other options.
ian@ThinkPad-T500:~$
ian@ThinkPad-T500:~$ sudo apt -get install audacious
E: Command line option 'g' [from -get] is not understood in combination with the other options.
ian@ThinkPad-T500:~$

Thanks

You've got spaces where there shouldn't be any:

Code:

sudo apt-get update

Hi

Thank you for the parsing/punctuation. Yes, that works.

PPA ? Hmmmmm

My system spontaneously offers me updates every few days, and to date I've accepted them? Is that unwise ?
If I were being more choosy, I might want to take only security updates. Basically my set-up is working well, and therefore incremental improvements of a general sort are not really a priority. But this machine is very much my window on the world. I had originally assumed (maybe wrongly) that in moving to Linux I had got away from the 'malicious' risks associated with Windows and especially old Windows.

Hi

a word of developers on the Zorin blog on PPA
https://zorinos.com/help/install-apps/

OK. Thanks

Also to ensure you get correct updates, change to 'Main Server' - now might be a good time to download the Unofficial Manual that I scribed.
