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

In Ubuntu zsyncmake is provided by zsync package.

zsync is:

zsync is a file transfer program to download files from remote web servers. If a previous version of a file is available locally, zsync will only download changed parts and hereby minimise the download volume. The algorithm is the same as used by rsync(1), but zsync does not require any server software (apart from a web server), nor does it need shell access. Instead, it uses a control file (.zsync file) that describes the file to be downloaded, which it uses to determine the blocks to fetch. This file is created once on the server (and not for each request) and sits next to actual file to download

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

sudo apt-get -y install zsync

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

You can also use apt command to install zsync.

sudo apt -y install zsync

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

sudo aptitude install zsync
