I need to install tweaks' packages on an jailbroken iPhone via SSH. But apt-get is not included in mac command line tools. I've found that brew can be used, but it doesn't seem to work when ssh'ing iPhone.

Tweaks are installed apt-get install com.author.thweakname

How do I execute it in mac Terminal?

apt-get is not a general Unix thing. It is just Debian and its derivatives. Mac is not debian (though it may be possible to install apt on it). Also IOS is not MAC OS. – richard 2 days ago

iOS is not Unix or Linux - this should be posted on Ask Different – muru 2 days ago
    
a few words about iPhone is just to make things clear. Generally, this question is about bringing apt-get to mac – MrCheatak 2 days ago
    
Have a look in Macports or Homebrew. – shallowThought 2 days ago
    
In my question I said, that I tried brew. – MrCheatak 2 days ago

apt-get is a Debian and Debian based tool for package management.

It will not run on the iPhone correctly without major efforts to modify the code and packages you are wanting to run/install

I used fink on MacOSX in the past as a package installer, but that is many versions of MacOSX ago so might not be available anymore?

macOS does have a native package installer, see the manual for e.g. installer and pkgutil. I'm not aware of any third-party supplier of packages for this on the scale of Homebrew or any the other projects though. It's mostly used for packages from the "App Store" I believe. – Kusalananda 2 days ago
    
This is about IOS and not OS X/macOS. – phk yesterday
