How To Fix xml2yaml: command not found in Ubuntu / Debian / Kali Linux / Raspbian

In Ubuntu xml2yaml is provided by libxml-compile-perl package.

libxml-compile-perl is:

Many (professional) applications process XML messages based on a formal specification, expressed in XML Schemas. XML::Compile translates between XML and Perl with the help of such schemas. Your Perl program only handles a tree of nested HASHes and ARRAYs, and does not need to understand namespaces and other general XML and schema nastiness.

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

sudo apt-get -y install libxml-compile-perl

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

You can also use apt command to install libxml-compile-perl.
