Command not found after installing p7zip

  • 772

Just getting started with Linux/Ubuntu. I installed 7z but the command is not found. I restarted the computer to hopefully refresh commands but that didn't help either.

Here is what I did:

sudo apt-get install p7zip
sudo apt-get install p7zip-full

Then tried

7z e [file-name].xz

and

7za e [file-name].xz

then I read up the man file but still nothing. Every time i get the following reply:

/usr/local/bin/7z: 2: /usr/local/bin/7z: /usr/local/lib/p7zip/7z: not found
command-line 7zip

  1. figured it out!

    the path in the bin file was pointing to the wrong place.

    i needed to switch the direction from the 

    usr/local/lib/p7zip/

    directory to

    usr/lib/p7zip/

    directory....

  2. p7zip isn't enough, also had to install p7zip-plugins ... then it's /bin/7z.
