How To Fix e00conv: command not found in Ubuntu / Debian / Kali Linux / Raspbian

In Ubuntu e00conv is provided by e00compr package.

e00compr is:

E00compr is an ANSI C library that reads and writes Arcinfo compressed E00 files. Both “PARTIAL” and “FULL” compression levels are supported. E00 files are the vector import/export format for Arcinfo. It is plain ASCII and is meant as an interchange format. ESRI considers the format to be proprietary, so this package may not read all E00 files as ESRI may change the format.

This package is useful for importing E00 files into the grass GIS system.

It contains the e00conv command-line program, which takes a E00 file as input (compressed or not) and copies it to a new file with the requested compression level (NONE, PARTIAL or FULL). The library is not included at this stage.

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

sudo apt-get -y install e00compr

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

You can also use apt command to install e00compr.

sudo apt -y install e00compr

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

sudo aptitude install e00compr
