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

In Ubuntu gztool is provided by gztool package.

gztool is:

gztool indexes gzip-compressed files, allowing them to be accessed randomly (instead of from the beginning). It can index existing files, which takes as much time as decompressing the file entirely; it can also compress and decompress files itself, creating optimised indexes as it goes.

Other features include:

• watch and index a gzip-compressed file as it is created;
• partially extract a gzip-compressed file;
• tail a gzip-compressed file (including follow mode).

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

sudo apt-get -y install gztool

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

You can also use apt command to install gztool.

sudo apt -y install gztool

Or if you have aptitude installed you can use the following command.

sudo aptitude install gztool
