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

In Ubuntu guacget is provided by guacd package.

guacd is:

Guacamole is an HTML5 web application that provides access to a desktop environment using remote desktop protocols. A centralized server acts as a tunnel and proxy, allowing access to multiple desktops through a web browser. No plugins are needed: the client requires nothing more than a web browser supporting HTML5 and AJAX.

The Guacamole proxy daemon, guacd, translates between remote desktop protocols (like VNC) and the Guacamole protocol using protocol plugins. Once a user is authenticated with the Guacamole web application, a tunnel is established through the web application to guacd, allowing the JavaScript client to communicate to an arbitrary remote desktop server through guacd.

This package contains the daemon binary.

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

sudo apt-get -y install guacd

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

You can also use apt command to install guacd.

sudo apt -y install guacd

sudo aptitude install guacd
