In Ubuntu winpr-makecert is provided by winpr-utils package.

winpr-utils is:

WinPR is a spin-off project of FreeRDP which aims at providing a portable implementation of important portions of the Windows API. Just like FreeRDP, WinPR is released under the Apache license. Unlike Wine, WinPR does not provide binary compatibility, and does not require applications to be built for Windows. Instead, WinPR provides API compatibility for applications targeting non-Windows environments. When on Windows, the original native API is being used instead of the equivalent WinPR implementation, without having to modify the code using it.

This package contains WinPR command line utils (winpr-hash, winpr-makecert).

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

sudo apt-get -y install winpr-utils

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

You can also use apt command to install winpr-utils.

sudo apt -y install winpr-utils

sudo aptitude install winpr-utils
