/usr/bin/time: No such file or directory

command, fedora, linux, time

Solution

For those on a raspberry pi or similar debian-based distributions, I found that I could install the package `time` (`sudo apt install time`) to obtain access to the `time` command.

Edit: For Fedora-based systems, the package name might be different. Try a `dnf search time`, followed by a `sudo dnf install {package_name}`. I don't have a Fedora machine immediately to hand to get the exact package name from.

Problem

I'm trying to run the time command for a file on a virtual machine running Fedora 19 64-bit and I get the message "/usr/bin/time: No such file or directory". I tried googling, but it appears it's something that I should already have. How do I get this on my computer?
