Why am I getting a 'command not found' error when executing commands?
Updated -
The error message command not found means the shell cannot find the command neing executed. It does not necessarily mean that the command does not exist on the machine.
To determine if the command exists on the machine, use the whereis command. This command will search standard Linux directories for the command entered.
whereis <command>
