How to install strings in Ubuntu server
I installed Ubuntu server 16.04.3 LTS but I cannot find the strings command:
$ sudo strings /data/storage
sudo: strings: command not found
$ man strings
No manual entry for strings
How am I supposed to install it?
You need to install binutils:
sudo apt-get install binutils
That should do the job.
It may be already installed but under the name strings-GNU instead of strings. You’ll need to create a link in /usr/bin.
ln -s strings-GNU strings
