Pumba installation - Command not found on linux terminal

Question

I am trying to install pumba from the OS release page. Once it is downloaded, I try running

pumba --help

It gives a command not found error.

Can anyone suggest what am I missing? The amd_64 file has all read, write and execute permissions.

Answer 1

If the name of the file is pumba_linux_amd64 , you have to use that. Additionally, since the file is (assuming) not in your $PATH , you can't launch it directly.

If your file is in your current directory, run

./pumba_linux_amd64
