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

In Ubuntu fstrm_dump is provided by fstrm-bin package.

fstrm-bin is:

Frame Streams is a light weight, binary clean protocol that allows for the transport of arbitrarily encoded data payload sequences with minimal framing overhead – just four bytes per data frame. Frame Streams does not specify an encoding format for data frames and can be used with any data serialization format that produces byte sequences, such as Protocol Buffers, XML, JSON, MessagePack, YAML, etc. Frame Streams can be used as both a streaming transport over a reliable byte stream socket (TCP sockets, TLS connections, AF_UNIX sockets, etc.) for data in motion as well as a file format for data at rest. A “Content Type” header identifies the type of payload being carried over an individual Frame Stream and allows cooperating programs to determine how to interpret a given sequence of data payloads.

This is the “fstrm” implementation of Frame Streams in C.

This package contains the command line utilities.

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

sudo apt-get -y install fstrm-bin

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

You can also use apt command to install fstrm-bin.

sudo apt -y install fstrm-bin

sudo aptitude install fstrm-bin
