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

In Ubuntu ziproxylogtool is provided by ziproxy package.

ziproxy is:

Ziproxy is a forwarding, non-caching and compressing HTTP proxy server. Basically it squeezes images by converting them to lower quality JPEGs and compresses (gzip) HTML and other text-like data. It also provides other features such as: HTML/JS/CSS optimization, preemptive hostname resolution, transparent proxying, IP ToS marking (QoS), Ad-Blocker, detailed logging and more.

Ziproxy may be installed in a number of different ways. Most common setup modes:

  1. As a remote proxy (by far, the most commonly used setup) Ziproxy accesses the remote www servers through a fast link, compresses the data, then send it to the client through a slow link. In such setups there’s no additional software required by the client, Ziproxy acts much as a common network proxy.
  2. As a local and remote proxy Similar to setup #1, except that the client also runs its instance of Ziproxy. Although Ziproxy does not require a Ziproxy-specific client, there are circumstances where is desired to run Ziproxy-as-a-client:
    • Client does not support JPEG 2000.
    • Client supports JPEG 2000 but it is buggy and/or slow.
    • Client does not support gzip.
    • Need to support both JPEG 2000 and standard JPEG at the same proxy.

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

sudo apt-get -y install ziproxy

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

You can also use apt command to install ziproxy.

sudo apt -y install ziproxy

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

sudo aptitude install ziproxy
