Embedded Linux is not about the package manager. 

Check the wiki for building your distribution with all necessary dependencies.

​Hi @tpeng.1​ 

apt-get service is coming soon !

In the meantime, mc is part of openembedded-core layer.

You can add it to on target following wiki :

It's great when some packages installed with apt-get service. Thank you.
