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

In Ubuntu amttool is provided by amtterm package.

amtterm is:

AMT (included in Intel vPro and Centrino Pro) provides out-of-band (OOB) management for Desktops and Laptops, using an agent integrated in the network adapter and in the motherboard.

Serial-over-lan provides a secure way to connect a remote computer, through a pseudo serial interface.

amtterm and gamt are two terminal tools to connect to that pseudo serial interface from a remote computer.

amttool is a script to gather information about and remotely control AMT managed computers.

Starting with AMT 9.0 Intel has removed support for the old SOAP protocol which is used by amttool. Only WS Management (added in AMT 3.0) is supported by recent machines. You can use wsmancli (see http://openwsman.sf.net) instead.

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

sudo apt-get -y install amtterm

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

You can also use apt command to install amtterm.

sudo apt -y install amtterm

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

sudo aptitude install amtterm
