Hi, thanks for raising the issue. As described in this comment:

We use apt-get instead of apt in these instructions so that the example commands can be used by users who want to script these steps (which in some cases can be as part of a Dockerfile). While apt is intended for "interactive" use, apt-get is still the recommended tool for scripting (as it has a stable API, whereas apt does not).

So I'm closing the issue.
