Always a good idea to specify which Puppy version you are running.
Generally speaking though, Puppy runs as root, so sudo is not used and apt is not used for package management.
Open Menu > SetUp > Puppy Package Manager and you should find a button that will allow you to update the repository databases.

Run ppm gui, get used to it, and don't think about apt.

try pkg repo-update. pkg -h for more options.
