How To Fix tovrmlx3d: command not found in Ubuntu / Debian / Kali Linux / Raspbian

In Ubuntu tovrmlx3d is provided by view3dscene package.

view3dscene is a viewer for many 3D model formats:

X3D
VRML (1.0 and 2.0, aka VRML 97)
Collada
OpenInventor
3DS
MD3
Wavefront OBJ
Videoscape GEO
KAnim (Castle Game Engine animations)

Various navigation modes are available, like Examine, Walk (with gravity), Fly. Collision detection is done. Models can be animated and interactive. Many graphic effects are possible, thanks to using Castle Game Engine underneath.

view3dscene may also be used to convert many 3D model formats to X3D (in classic and XML encoding). This package includes also a command-line tovrmlx3d program, that performs the same conversions as view3dscene, but doesn’t use X or OpenGL (so it’s nice to use in scripts to convert 3D models in batch mode).

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

sudo apt-get -y install view3dscene

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

You can also use apt command to install view3dscene.

sudo apt -y install view3dscene

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

sudo aptitude install view3dscene
