I have mistakenly removed the default package APT from my system .

When I run command locate apt-get, I get below output:

/home/jeet/apt-get

/home/jeet/Desktop/apt/apt-0.7.25.3ubuntu9.13/cmdline/apt-get.cc

/home/jeet/Desktop/apt/apt-0.7.25.3ubuntu9.13/doc/apt-get.8.xml

/home/jeet/Desktop/apt/apt-0.7.25.3ubuntu9.13/doc/de/apt-get.de.8

/home/jeet/Desktop/apt/apt-0.7.25.3ubuntu9.13/doc/fr/apt-get.fr.8

/home/jeet/Desktop/apt/apt-0.7.25.3ubuntu9.13/doc/ja/apt-get.ja.8

/home/jeet/Downloads/apt-get

/home/jeet/Downloads/apt-get.8.gz

/usr/share/bash-completion/completions/apt-get

/usr/share/bash-completion/completions/slapt-get

If I run ls | grep apt-get, then I won't get any output.

Can anybody please advice how to recover apt package or install it from start?
