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

In Ubuntu renderd is provided by renderd package.

renderd is:

mod_tile is a system to serve raster tiles for example to use within a slippy map. It provides a dynamic combination of efficient caching and on the fly rendering. Due to its dynamic rendering, only a small fraction of overall tiles need to be kept on disk, reducing the resources required. At the same time, its caching strategy allows for a high performance serving and can support several thousand requests per second.

This package contains the renderd daemon that creates “metatiles” for map tile requests issued by mod_tile using the mapnik library.

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

sudo apt-get -y install renderd

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

You can also use apt command to install renderd.

sudo apt -y install renderd

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

sudo aptitude install renderd
