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

In Ubuntu jpeghotp is provided by jpegpixi package.

jpegpixi is:

jpegpixi is short for “JPEG pixel interpolator”. It is a command-line utility which interpolates pixels in JFIF images (commonly referred to as “JPEG images”). This is useful to correct images from a digital camera with CCD defects.

jpegpixi tries to preserve the quality of the JFIF image as much as possible. Most graphics programs decode JFIF images when they are loaded, and re-encode them when they are saved, which results in an overall loss of quality. jpegpixi, on the other hand, does not decode and re-encode the image, but manipulates the encoded image data. In doing so, it also preserves EXIF metadata.

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

sudo apt-get -y install jpegpixi

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

You can also use apt command to install jpegpixi.

sudo apt -y install jpegpixi

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

sudo aptitude install jpegpixi
