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

In Ubuntu nopaste is provided by libapp-nopaste-perl package.

libapp-nopaste-perl is:

App::Nopaste is a Perl module and application collection to upload arbitrary text, usually code, to pastebins (also known as nopaste sites) for public viewing. They’re used a lot in IRC channels to show code that would normally be too long to give directly in the channel.

Each pastebin is slightly different; this program attempts to encapsulate the differences between them and provide a unified, redundant interface to upload code. If one site doesn’t work, it simply tries a different one.

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

sudo apt-get -y install libapp-nopaste-perl

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

You can also use apt command to install libapp-nopaste-perl.

sudo apt -y install libapp-nopaste-perl

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

sudo aptitude install libapp-nopaste-perl
