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

In Ubuntu baremetal is provided by python3-ironicclient package.

python3-ironicclient is:

Ironic provision bare metal machines instead of virtual machines. It is a fork of the Nova Baremetal driver. It is best thought of as a bare metal hypervisor API and a set of plugins which interact with the bare metal hypervisors. By default, it will use PXE and IPMI in concert to provision and turn on/off machines, but Ironic also supports vendor-specific plugins which may implement additional functionality.

This is a client for the OpenStack Ironic API. There’s a Python API (the “ironicclient” module), and a command-line script (“ironic”).

Installing this package gets you a shell command, that you can use to interact with Ironic’s API.

This package provides the Python 3.x support.

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

sudo apt-get -y install python3-ironicclient

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

sudo apt -y install python3-ironicclient

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

sudo aptitude install python3-ironicclient
