How To Fix strip-nondeterminism: command not found in Ubuntu / Debian / Kali Linux / Raspbian

In Ubuntu strip-nondeterminism is provided by strip-nondeterminism package.

strip-nondeterminism is:

StripNondeterminism is a library for stripping non-deterministic information such as timestamps and filesystem ordering from various file and archive formats.

This can be used as a post-processing step to improve the reproducibility of a build product, when the build process itself cannot be made deterministic.

It is used as part of the Reproducible Builds project, although it should be considered a temporary workaround which should not be needed in the long term; upstream software should be reproducible even without using such a tool.

This package installs the stand-alone ‘strip-nondeterminism’ tool.

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

sudo apt-get -y install strip-nondeterminism

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

You can also use apt command to install strip-nondeterminism.

sudo apt -y install strip-nondeterminism

sudo aptitude install strip-nondeterminism
