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

In Ubuntu fastQTL is provided by fastqtl package.

fastqtl is:

The goal of FastQTL is to identify single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) which are significantly associated with various molecular phenotypes (i.e. expression of known genes, cytosine methylation levels, etc). It performs scans for all possible phenotype-variant pairs in cis (i.e. variants located within a specific window around a phenotype). FastQTL implements a new permutation scheme (Beta approximation) to accurately and rapidly correct for multiple-testing at both the genotype and phenotype levels.

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