How To Fix buildbot-worker: command not found in Ubuntu / Debian / Kali Linux / Raspbian

In Ubuntu buildbot-worker is provided by buildbot-worker package.

buildbot-worker is:

The BuildBot is a system to automate the compile/test cycle required by most software projects to validate code changes. By automatically rebuilding and testing the tree each time something has changed, build problems are pinpointed quickly, before other developers are inconvenienced by the failure. The guilty developer can be identified and harassed without human intervention.

By running the builds on a variety of platforms, developers who do not have the facilities to test their changes everywhere before checkin will at least know shortly afterwards whether they have broken the build or not. Warning counts, lint checks, image size, compile time, and other build parameters can be tracked over time, are more visible, and are therefore easier to improve.

This package contains the worker, which performs the actual builds. It is recommended to run the worker on behalf of a non-privileged user.

sudo apt-get -y install buildbot-worker
