How To Fix dr_watch: command not found in Ubuntu / Debian / Kali Linux / Raspbian

In Ubuntu dr_watch is provided by draai package.

draai is:

Draai is a wrapper around mpc, making playing music from the commandline more enjoyable. mpc is a client for MPD, the Music Player Daemon. Using draai, one can play an audiofile (ogg, mp3, whatever your MPD offers), play all files in a predefined playlist, view details on current, past and future playing songs, skip to the next song, etc.

The interface is purely command-line. No fancy gui’s whatsoever. Draai consists of one zsh shell script, calling mpc.

Main differences with mpc: draai supports smooth fadeouts, draai can be used as an alarmclock, draai supports rescheduling a track as the upcoming track, draai offers fancy status windows. When draai starts playing the next song it informs syslog about it, including all details about the song; a “tail -F” on syslog yields a nice playlist history. Like mpc, draai comes with full zsh tabcompletion support. The author uses draai for doing DJ sets in clubs. If you, like the author, are a Unix sysadmin who likes to play music, you’ll like draai.

Next to draai itself, the package installs some extra utilities for dealing with audio files.

To fix this problem, we can install more using the command below.

sudo apt-get -y install draai

This command might take some time to finish depending on your machine internet connection.

You can also use apt command to install draai.

sudo apt -y install draai

Or if you have aptitude installed you can use the following command.

sudo aptitude install draai
