To set apt-get proxy open /etc/apt/apt.conf and add this line to the bottom of file.

Acquire::http::Proxy "http://yourproxyaddress:proxyport";

Or if you need a username and Password:

Acquire::http::Proxy "http://USERNAME:PASSWORD@yourproxyaddress:proxyport";

To set system wide proxy (not just apt) open ~/.bashrc and add this to the bottom of file.

http_proxy=http://yourproxyaddress:proxyport
export http_proxy
