Answer

You may find the packages are not available in the Amazon managed repository. You may need to add a 3rd party Repo to install packages as AWS may not maintain or add said packages to their repos.

Answer

Try this way
*  with the actual name of the package you want to install
sudo yum install 
* If you have a list of multiple packages you want to install, you can specify them separated by spaces
sudo yum install   
* If you want to search for a specific package, you can use the yum search command
sudo yum search

Answer

I don't think the apt command is available on Amazon Linux.  
I thought that either the OS used was different or the command was wrong.  
Amazon Linux installs packages with yum instead of apt.
