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

In Ubuntu shnstrip is provided by shntool package.

shntool is:

shntool is a multi-purpose WAVE data processing and reporting utility. File formats are abstracted from its core, so it can process any file that contains WAVE data, compressed or not - provided there exists a format module to handle that particular file type.

shntool has native support for .wav files. If you want it to work with other formats, you must have the appropriate helper program installed. Some of these helper programs - notably for Monkey’s Audio, LPAC, OptimFROG - are not (yet) available in Debian.

With the helper programs mentioned above, shntool is able to convert files between all supported formats.

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

sudo apt-get -y install shntool

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

You can also use apt command to install shntool.

sudo apt -y install shntool

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

sudo aptitude install shntool
