How To Fix endnote-format: command not found in Ubuntu / Debian / Kali Linux / Raspbian

In Ubuntu endnote-format is provided by libbiblio-endnotestyle-perl package.

libbiblio-endnotestyle-perl is:

Biblio::EndnoteStyle provides a way of formatting bibliographic references using style templates similar to those used by the popular reference management software Endnote (http://www.endnote.com/). The API is embarrassingly simple: a formatter object is made using the class’s constructor, the new() method; format() may then be repeatedly called on this object, using the same or different templates.

(The sole purpose of the object is to cache compiled templates so that multiple format() invocations are more efficient than they would otherwise be. Apart from that, the API might just as well have been a single function.)

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

sudo apt-get -y install libbiblio-endnotestyle-perl

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

You can also use apt command to install libbiblio-endnotestyle-perl.

sudo apt -y install libbiblio-endnotestyle-perl
