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

In Ubuntu alurestream is provided by alure-utils package.

alure-utils is:

ALURE is a utility library to help manage common tasks with OpenAL applications. This includes device enumeration and initialization, file loading, and streaming.

The purpose of this library is to provide pre-made functionality that would otherwise be repetitive or difficult to (re)code for various projects and platforms, such as loading a sound file into an OpenAL buffer and streaming an audio file through a buffer queue. Support for different formats is consistent across platforms, so no special checks are needed when loading files, and all formats are handled through the same API.

Currently ALURE includes a basic .wav and .aif file reader, and can leverage external libraries such as libSndFile (for extended wave formats and several others), VorbisFile (for Ogg Vorbis), and FLAC (for FLAC and Ogg FLAC), and others. External libraries can also be dynamically loaded at run-time, or individually disabled outright at compile time.

This package installs the various ALURE utility programs.

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

sudo apt-get -y install alure-utils

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

You can also use apt command to install alure-utils.

sudo apt -y install alure-utils

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

sudo aptitude install alure-utils
