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

In Ubuntu mkosi is provided by mkosi package.

mkosi is:

A fancy wrapper around “dnf –installroot”, “debootstrap” and “pacstrap”, that may generate disk images with a number of bells and whistles.

Generated images are “legacy-free”. This means only GPT disk labels (and no MBR disk labels) are supported, and only systemd based images may be generated. Moreover, for bootable images only EFI systems are supported (not plain MBR/BIOS).

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

sudo apt-get -y install mkosi

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

You can also use apt command to install mkosi.

sudo apt -y install mkosi

sudo aptitude install mkosi
