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

In Ubuntu ebshell is provided by eekboek package.

eekboek is:

EekBoek is a bookkeeping package for Dutch users; it creates reports such as a balance sheet (“Balans”), a general journal (“Journaal”), a general ledger (“Grootboek”) and a VAT report (“BTW-aangifte”).

Unlike other accounting software, EekBoek has a command-line interface: The EekBoek Shell (with tab completion). It uses a database as back end: either PostgreSQL (using the eekboek-db-postgresql package) or SQLite. Interoperability is a key feature of EekBoek: editable text dumps of all your data are possible at any time. EekBoek can generate an “XML Auditfile Financieel” (XAF) as used by Dutch tax office. Furthermore, it has a complete Perl API to create your own custom applications.

The EekBoek documentation is available in Dutch only.

If you’d like to use EekBoek with a PostgreSQL back end (instead of the default SQLite), install the package eekboek-db-postgresql. If you’d like to use the Eekboek GUI, install the suggested package eekboek-gui.

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

sudo apt-get -y install eekboek

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

You can also use apt command to install eekboek.

sudo apt -y install eekboek

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

sudo aptitude install eekboek
