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

In Ubuntu logmake is provided by logapp package.

logapp is:

Logapp is a wrapper utility that helps supervise the execution of applications that produce heavy console output (e.g. make, CVS and Subversion). It does this by logging, trimming, and coloring each line of the output before displaying it. It can be called instead of the executable that should be monitored; it then starts the application and logs all of its console output to a file. The output shown in the terminal is preprocessed, e.g. to limit the length of printed lines and to show the stderr output in a different color. It is also possible to automatically highlight lines that match a certain regular expression. The output is therefore reduced to the necessary amount, and all important lines are easy to identify.

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

sudo apt-get -y install logapp

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

You can also use apt command to install logapp.

sudo apt -y install logapp

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

sudo aptitude install logapp
