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

In Ubuntu structuredstorageexplorer is provided by openmcdf package.

openmcdf is:

OpenMCDF is a 100% managed CLI component that allows client applications to manipulate COM structured storage files, also known as Microsoft Compound Document Format files.

This file format is used under the hood by a lot of applications: the files created by Microsoft Office until the 2007 product release are all structured storage files. They include multiple streams of information (document summary, user data) in a single physical container (the file). Also the omnipresent Thumbs.db, used by Windows as thumbnails cache, is a structured storage file.

OpenMCDF makes available to the developer an easy interface to read, write, add and remove structured storage primitives. Structured storage items are organized in a hierarchical tree where ‘storage’ nodes act like a directory and ‘stream’ nodes like a file. Developers can use OpenMCDF to view storages and streams, traverse hierarchical trees of items, explore existing compound file and modify them or create a new compound file from scratch.

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

sudo apt-get -y install openmcdf

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

You can also use apt command to install openmcdf.

sudo apt -y install openmcdf

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

sudo aptitude install openmcdf
