I tried so many times to install mysql workbench and I faced many problems. The last one is in dependencies. I tried to solve that by typing: 

sudo apt -get install mysql-workbench-community-6.0.9-1ubu1204-i386.deb

But unfortunately I got this error:

sudo: apt: command not found

How can I do that with Ubuntu 12.04?

The proper command is apt-get instead of apt get.

You need to be careful when typing commands, as you can do lots of damage. For example, typing mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda instead of mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdb will destroy all data on that drive.

THe command's proper form is:

sudo apt-get install mysql-workbench

The above command fetches mysql workbench from the official Ubuntu repository. A repository is a web server containing many programs or files.

It seems like you already downloaded the .deb file associated with the mysql-workbench package, so you can just install it by cd /path/where/you/downloaded/file/ and then running command:

sudo dpkg -i mysql-workbench-community-6.0.9-1ubu1204-i386.deb

EDIT: If you have dependency problems, you should try sudo apt-get -f install
