How To Fix nqp-m: command not found in Ubuntu / Debian / Kali Linux / Raspbian

In Ubuntu nqp-m is provided by nqp package.

nqp is:

“Not Quite Perl” is a compiler for quickly generating PIR routines from Perl6-like code. The key feature of NQP is that it’s designed to be a very small compiler (as compared with, say, perl6 or Rakudo) and is focused on being a high-level way to create compilers and libraries for virtual machines (such as the JVM, and MoarVM).

Unlike a full-fledged implementation of Perl 6, NQP strives to have as small a runtime footprint as it can, while still providing a Perl 6 object model and regular expression engine for the virtual machine.

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

sudo apt-get -y install nqp

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

You can also use apt command to install nqp.

sudo apt -y install nqp

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

sudo aptitude install nqp
