How To Fix symilar: command not found in Ubuntu / Debian / Kali Linux / Raspbian
In Ubuntu symilar is provided by pylint package.
pylint is:
Pylint is a Python source code analyzer which looks for programming errors, helps enforcing a coding standard and sniffs for some code smells (as defined in Martin Fowler’s Refactoring book)
Pylint can be seen as another PyChecker since nearly all tests you can do with PyChecker can also be done with Pylint. However, Pylint offers some more features, like checking length of lines of code, checking if variable names are well-formed according to your coding standard, or checking if declared interfaces are truly implemented, and much more.
Additionally, it is possible to write plugins to add your own checks.
The package also ships the following additional commands:
- pyreverse: an UML diagram generator
- symilar: an independent similarities checker
- epylint: Emacs and Flymake compatible Pylint
To fix this problem, we can install more using the command below.
sudo apt-get -y install pylint
This command might take some time to finish depending on your machine internet connection.
You can also use apt command to install pylint.
sudo apt -y install pylint
Or if you have aptitude installed you can use the following command.
sudo aptitude install pylint
