How To Fix udp-receiver: command not found in Ubuntu / Debian / Kali Linux / Raspbian

In Ubuntu udp-receiver is provided by udpcast package.

udpcast is:

UDPcast can send data simultaneously to many destinations on a LAN. This can be used, for example, to install entire classrooms of PCs at once. The advantage of UDPcast over other methods (such as NFS, FTP, etc.) is that UDPcast uses Ethernet’s multicast abilities, which means it won’t take longer to install 15 machines than it would to install just two.

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

sudo apt-get -y install udpcast

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

sudo apt -y install udpcast
