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

In Ubuntu torrus is provided by torrus-common package.

torrus-common is:

Core part of the Torrus suite, providing support files needed by the other Torrus packages. It can be installed directly and used with any FastCGI-compatible webserver package.

Torrus is designed to be a universal front-end framework for Round-Robin Databases using Tobias Oetiker’s RRDtool. It may be configured to collect and monitor arbitrary data series from various data sources which can in turn be displayed on a web page.

One of the traditional applications of this functionality is the collection and visualization of network information using the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) from SNMP-enabled devices.

You will need to install libcrypt-des-perl and libdigest-hmac-perl for SNMPv3 support. SNMP over IPv6-transport is also supported after installing libio-socket-inet6-perl.

Torrus has been formerly known as rrfw, round-robin database framework.

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

sudo apt-get -y install torrus-common
