Neofetch says "-bash: fastfetch: command not found"

[Kriston]

Neofetch says "-bash: fastfetch: command not found" yet fastfetch doesn't exist in the repository.

 

Anyone know how to fix?

This happens all the time.  A good thing I can suggest in such a case is to

 

sudo apt install command-not-found

 

It's an incredible useful piece of software to have.  This is what it will show for you

 

laibsch@banana:~$ fastfetch
Command 'fastfetch' not found, did you mean:
  command 'fastafetch' from deb exonerate (2.4.0-5)
Try: sudo apt install <deb name>

 

Too bad, no good answer in this case.  Let's see what apt-file can do for us.

Oh, it looks like fastfetch does exist after all.  Not sure, why command-not-found didn't know about it.  Anyhow, the following should resolve your issue:

 

sudo apt install fastfetch

 

explanation of apt-file output: the stuff before the ':' is the package-name and the stuff after the ':' is the matching file-names and where they would be located on the filesystem if the package was installed.
