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

In Ubuntu mNotify is provided by montage-gridtools package.

montage-gridtools is:

Montage is a toolkit for assembling astronomical images into custom mosaics.

This package contains modules that can generate a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) representation of the mosaicking process for a set of on-line surveys (e.g., 2MASS). This information is fed to the Pegasus software from ISI (the Information Sciences Institute), which produces processing plans for Condor (or Condor-G on the Teragrid).

These modules should be considered prototypes: they have been used extensively but have not been subject to the same rigorous testing to which the core modules have been subjected. Users should contact Montage ([email protected]) before employing them to verify limitations in their use and changes in the interfaces.

sudo apt-get -y install montage-gridtools
