duma command not found

In this troubleshooting guide we learn how to fix duma command not found error message

Introduction

When you run more command in linux terminal / console, you get the following error message

duma: command not found

or when using sudo you get the following error message

sudo: duma: command not found

In Ubuntu duma is provided by duma package.

duma is:

Open-source library to detect buffer overruns and under-runs in C and C++ programs.

This library is a fork of Bruce Perens Electric Fence library and adds some new features to it. Features of the DUMA library:

“overloads” all standard memory allocation functions like malloc(), calloc(), memalign(), strdup(), operator new, operator new[] and also their counterpart deallocation functions like free(), operator delete and operator delete[]
utilizes the MMU (memory management unit) of the CPU: allocates and protects an extra memory page to detect any illegal access beyond the top of the buffer (or bottom, at the user’s option)
stops the program at exactly that instruction, which does the erroneous access to the protected memory page, allowing location of the defective source code in a debugger detects erroneous writes at the non-protected end of the memory block at deallocation of the memory block
detects mismatch of allocation/deallocation functions: f.e. allocation with malloc() but deallocation with operator delete
leak detection: detect memory blocks which were not deallocated until program exit
preloading of the library
allowing tests without necessity of changing source code or recompilation

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

sudo apt-get -y install duma

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

You can also use apt command to install duma.
