How To Fix simple2zoom: command not found in Ubuntu / Debian / Kali Linux / Raspbian

In Ubuntu simple2zoom is provided by libnet-z3950-simple2zoom-perl package.

libnet-z3950-simple2zoom-perl is:

The Net::Z3950::Simple2ZOOM module provides all the application logic of a generic “Swiss Army Gateway” between Z39.50 and SRU. It is used by the simple2zoom program, and there is probably no good reason to make any other program to use it. For that reason, this library-level documentation is more than usually terse.

The library has only two public entry points: the new() constructor and the launch_server() method. The synopsis above shows how they are used: a Simple2ZOOM object is created using new(), then the launch_server() method is invoked on it to – get ready for a big surprise here – launch the server. (In fact, this synopsis is essentially the whole of the code of the simple2zoom program. All the work happens inside the library.)

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

sudo apt-get -y install libnet-z3950-simple2zoom-perl

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

You can also use apt command to install libnet-z3950-simple2zoom-perl.

sudo apt -y install libnet-z3950-simple2zoom-perl

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

sudo aptitude install libnet-z3950-simple2zoom-perl
