The build-essential package is a list containing various packages required for compiling Debian packages. The absence of some of the packages on this list results in “command not found” when trying to compile something.
Using the “root” user, to install build-essential run the following commands:
#
apt-get update && apt-get upgrade#
apt-get install build-essential
Now you can compile C/C++ programs, Debian packages and more…
